8. Virginia at Pittsburgh

When: January 4

Prediction: 65-61, UVA

Pittsburgh will quietly win a solid amount of games this season They still return seniors Michael Young and Jamel Artis, who are going to be huge pieces and two of the best the ACC has to offer.

The Panthers got their big win last year at home against Duke. They have an opportunity to get after another top team this year as they play Virginia at the start of 2017. The Cavaliers play at Pittsburgh in just their third ACC game of the year. It comes after playing both Louisville and FSU, which is not an easy three game slate by any stretch of the imagination.

Kevin Stallings can earn his first big win as Pittsburgh head coach. This could get the fan base behind him early.
