Pitt again avoids Florida State and Clemson on their football schedule and, according to Athlon, the Panthers have one of the easiest slates in the ACC.
Athlon has the Panthers' schedule at 12th of the 14 teams in the conference:
Facing Notre Dame and Iowa in the non-conference isn't easy but the rest of the schedule sets up nicely for Pitt. There is no Florida State, Clemson or NC State on the schedule and road trips include visits to Syracuse and Duke. Two huge games in the division with Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech will come on the road but the schedule overall sets up for Pat Narduzzi's first romp through a wide-open ACC.
