If Pitt wins, the committee will have them ranked about 22, so Miami would then have a good loss on their record.

Apparently, waving your finger at the opposition is okay in the ACC.

Who's more likely to blow their game? 

Miami or TCU?

Ole Solich is really taking it on the chin, in the season Finale.

Pitt does this like every ten years now - upset someone's downhill championship run? West Virginia fans still aren't over Wanny knocking them clear out of the BCS #2 spot in 2007.

If Pitt pulls off this upset it helps clarify things and open a spot for someone.  

With a Miami loss, I think that the ACCCG winner would still get into the CFP (even if Clemson lost to USCe, then beat Miami to finish 11-2) while the ACCCG loser would be a 2+loss non-Champion and obviously out.  

That helps if you are ND, tOSU, USC, or WSU.

Winning this game would be the most Pitt thing ever
or would losing this game be the most March Richt thing ever?

I was kinda on the fence about Miami. Still am if they pull off this game. They don't play consistently, they've had a lot of really close calls, and they thrive too much on the turnover. You aren't going to get 4 and 5 turnovers with 1 or 2 of those going back for TD's every single game. Just isn't sustainable. The turnovers have helped mask a pretty pedestrian offense. It's not a bad offense by any means, more like middle of the pack, mediocre. Not sure you can win a national title with that sort of offense unless you have a defense that is shut-down. I don't think Miami's defense is shut-down- they are more feast or famine- and when they feast on the turnover they are a bitch. But they give up chunk yards and big plays as well.

More often than that. They cost PSU the playoff last year, and put a big dent in Clemson's resume.
They are pre Dantonio MSU.  Always underachieve, but seemingly once a year they do this.
