"I know our team would probably like to go to a bowl, but the bowl game is far, far subservient to this game," Pitt Coach Johnny Majors said in advance of this week's game at Three Rivers Stadium. "The bowl committees did not act with very much discretion in our opinion, but that's part of building a program.

We'll have other opportunities," Majors added. Despite his team's higher ranking, Penn State Coach Joe Paterno hailed Pitt as the top team in the East earlier this week. "It's a great challenge for us to play the best team in the East," he said. The Pitt-Penn State game kicks off the last big weekend of the college regular season. play-orrs.
