For those keeping score at home, the link below is useful. We have 6 quad one losses. We won’t be dinged for that. The link doesn’t load well on mobile

Right now, Pitt is NET 75, right on the cusp of Q1/Q2 for an away game.
Our remaining schedule has 5 more Q1 games, 2 Q2 games, and 1 Q3 game. We really need to sweep Illinois/Michigan/Northwestern at home to stay with just 1 loss in Q2-Q4.
If we then dropped all the remaining Q1 games, we'd be 19-12 overall (10-10 B1G), (2-11) in Q1, with no wins away from the RAC... heading into the B1G tournament. That's a good, but not great, resume, which should get us in with a weak bubble (which is what people keep saying we have this year).
If we could knock of one of the away teams to be 20-11 (11-9), 3-10 Q1, with an away win... I think that's a much stronger resume overall, and well away from the bubble.
Remaining games:
Q1
10 - Maryland
15 - @Ohio St
21 - @Penn St
30 - @Wisconsin
38 - @Purdue
Q2
31 - Illinois
34 - Michigan
