If you were hoping that the Pitt football team could avoid getting a swelled head going into this year, you got a bit of good news on Monday. Today at the ACC Media Days session, the Panthers were picked to finish a relatively modest third by the media in the ACC's Coastal Division.
With 14 first-place votes, Pitt finished well behind North Carolina (121 first-place votes) and Miami (50).
The Coastal was much more undecided than the Atlantic. In the Coastal, every team except for Virginia had at least one first-place vote. The Atlantic predictions were dominated by Clemson and Florida State with Louisville the only team to receive any (and they only got one).
