I think that our game is big and very meaningful to them. But winning the ACC is a ticket to a major bowl game. Their starter has a nasty injury and *could* be cleared after a few weeks. The Pitt game for them is three weeks after the injury occurred, which is the minimum time for that type of injury to start healing. Playing against us at 2 weeks - in a game that likely will not impact their ability to reach a major bowl game - probably would not be a wise decision. It's not like they're angling for a playoff spot at this point.
