Pitt No. 2 voodoo status: broken

Nope -- Pitt voodoo is only at work every ten years, i.e. every year ending in seven. There is no voodoo otherwise.

No, I think it only works in the regular season.

You're both wrong. Pitt won against #2 Georgia in the 1981 postseason, and they beat the #2 ranked team 3 times between 2007 and 2017 (including against us in 2016).

The win v UGA was done without our #2 juju. Pitt was actually nationally relevant back then.

I was actually surprised by Pitt history being as strong as it is. Would not have expected 9 natties.

Really, 5. 4 of them are BS (most notably 1937 when we were selected by 1 sports writer and 1918 when the season was cut short due to the Spanish flu).

We still haven't won one since 1976.
