I see Tech, TCU, Kansas State, and Iowa State as winnable (not that we'll be favored or anything, but we need to go 3 out of 4 from them), but we need to get a win from Texas or Baylor somehow. I don't see us being able to slow down or keep up with Oklahoma or OSU this year, but I think we could potentially win a slugfest over Texas or Baylor.

That was more in line with what I expected to see this year. Neal Brown has undeniably recruited well and bringing in Harrell with Daniels has expectations high. Donaldson landing in our laps was a gift, but even overall the skill position talent is far and away the deepest it's been in a while.
In fairness, we hadn't caught a break this year until the 2nd half of the game last night. Every bounce seemed to go Pitt and Kansas' way in those first couple of games. Still, the defense should have been better.
Neal has a lot riding on the rest of the season. It's a good team. I don't think Virginia Tech was better in a single area last night and while they're not world beaters, it's still a P5 team so it's nice to get a decisive win in a tough environment.
