Pitt is in the second half of an unbeaten season, yet still goes into Week 10 as a 7.5-point underdog to a good SMU team. The Panthers are playing their first ranked opponent of the season, but come off a stout 41-13 win over Syracuse in their most recent action. Pittsburgh uses balance to score the sixth-most points per game in the country (40.9 ppg) and leans on a defense built first and foremost on stopping the run (No. 9, 93.9 ypg).

SMU has been a steady machine of scoring and winning outside of the team's only loss, 18-15, to current No. 9 BYU in Week 3. The Mustangs are 4-0 in ACC play and entered the weekend alongside No. 11 Clemson (5-0), No. 5 Miami (4-0) and Pitt (3-0) among ACC's unbeatens in league games.
