Special guest on this week's episode of ACC Nation is Mike Vukovcan of Pittsburgh Sports Now. Mike shares his thoughts on Pitt football and we broach the question of hot seat status across the board. Fans aren't happy and the question is, are the alumni ready to pitch in the bucks to buy out a contract? Will it go that far now or will it be addressed at the end of the season?

First, we take a look at the latest polls starting with college football in the AP Top 25. Who are the top 5 in the nation? Which ACC teams remain ranked this week? Which team is receiving votes just outside the Top 25?

Then it's the United Soccer Coaches Poll of men's and women's college soccer. The ACC tops both sides and is well represented overall. A look at the AVCA Volleyball poll has one conference team in the top 5 and several in the rankings this week.

Our guest, Mike Vukovcan shared his thoughts on Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi in this opinion piece at Pittsburgh Sports Now. Mike's Twitter response to the outcome of the Notre Dame-Pitt game, along with many fans prompted us to reach out to him.

* What happened against Notre Dame - "An embarrassment"* Has Pat Narduzzi had enough time?* Will AD Heather Lyke have patience or demand a correction?* The buyout may be too steep* Is change imminent?* Playing scared and quitting doesn't go over well * Analyzing the coordinator hires* Moving from a running attack to a passing game under Whipple* What is the answer?

Lead Or Get Out Of The Way

* Taking applications from innovative offensive coordinators* Answering the question - Why do QB's run to the sideline to talk with Whipple?* Are other teams really trying to steal Pitt's offensive calls?* Calling Comcast - Pitt fans aren't happy with you* Bucking the Boss - Don't do it unless you have another job waiting* What is really going on with Kenny Pickett?* Sifting through the rumors* Therapy session* Breaking down the Pitt defensive break down* All or nothing approach tests the corners

Is That All There Is?

* Why no, no it's not. Let's talk basketball* The excitement about what Jeff Capel brings to the program* The slow build as Capel brings in 'his guys'* Putting the pieces together - one recruiting class away from success* The importance of developing players* Guard strength is a big key this season
