The PITT Panthers ended their 2010 regular season with a 28-10 win at Cincinnati over the Bearcats.
It was the first time PITT has beaten Cincinnati in three seasons. The Panthers may have won, but unfortunately, they lost out once again in the Big East. The Panthers can lay claim to a part of the Big East championship, matching Connecticut and WVU with 5-2 conference marks, but they don't get the big prize.
That will go to Connecticut, who beat out both PITT and West Virginia for the BCS berth. UConn owns tiebreakers over both the Panthers and the 'eers.
It's unclear what bowl PITT will now play in, but from most accounts, it'll either be in the Beef 'O Brady bowl on December 21st to face Southern Miss or the BBVA Compass bowl on January 8th to face Kentucky.
Today's victory over Cincy was cool. Dion Lewis regained his form and rushed for 261 yards and scored 4 touchdowns. It was a nice way to end the season.
However, the PITT program, and their fans, would have gladly exchanged today's triumph for a win over the Bearcats last season.
That would have been MUCH cooler.
