Week 11 of the College Football season gets us closer to the precipice of championship weekend. The ACC has a great slate to end the season, and Week 11 features a ton of awesome games. The Pitt Panthers will try to stave off elimination at home against the Florida State Seminoles.
Florida State (4-5, 2-4 in ACC) is in its second week under interim head coach Rick Stockstill. They fired Mike Norvell after a 36-24 home loss to Clemson on Halloween. In Stockstill's first week, they won their first road game in nearly three seasons with a 31-24 victory over the Boston College Eagles. They still have a puncher's chance to make a bowl game, but they need to win two out of their last three games.
Pitt (6-3, 3-3 in ACC) comes off of their bye after winning
34-11 against Georgia Tech on Halloween. The Panthers haven't been the same team since they lost starting quarterback Mason Heintschel to a torn ACL. Ever since starting the season 5-0, they have been 1-3, with close losses to North Carolina and Boston College and a blowout loss to Miami. The question with the Georgia Tech win is whether or not Pitt can keep it up or if they got lucky playing the Yellow Jackets.

FSU vs. Pitt prediction, pick
Home-field advantage hasn't been a factor for this matchup in the past. in 2023, Florida State won 24-7 against Pitt in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and this past season, Pitt won 34-31 against Florida State in Tallahassee, Florida. There's clear reason to believe the Seminoles won't be too intimidated by the moment.
The Seminoles went back to basics in game 1 under Stockstill: turnover-free, run-first football. It worked against Boston College, but Pitt is.a different beast. They have the No. 2 run defense in the nation, with 72.8 yards per game allowed on the ground.
However, Pitt's offense has been meager at best. That win against Georgia Tech is great, but Pitt had a three-game losing streak going and they just so happened to run into a team that had lost by 22 to Boston College. The Yellow Jackets have lost by 21+ to each of their past three opponents so far.
I'd expect both ground games to take over due to the conditions, so the under should hit. However, I think the Seminoles will win this game. Florida State's playing more cautiously, and Pitt's not out of the woods yet. Give me Florida State in a low-scoring affair.
Score Prediction: Florida State 20, Pitt 17
