[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 132097048, member: 1112294"] 2 of WVU first 5 opponents listed as overrated. [HEADING=1]No. 16 Pittsburgh[/HEADING] The belief that the Panthers are poised to possiblly repeat their ACC title seems to rest on the expectation that Southern California transfer Kedon Slovis will seamlessly transition in as the starting quarterback after Kenny Pickett's departure.

Up front, the defense looks solid, but how the back seven comes together will decide how well the group performs.
