Penn State will choke.

Pat Devlin should have kept his committment to Miami because JoePa will screw him up as a QB.

I was a little nervous about the PSU game going into the half. I also thought Ole Miss would also have pulled it out. I expect to see Ohio State move back into the Top 10 -- Pryor did a pretty good job yesterday. Mizzou and Daniel looked really bad.

BTW NittanyAlum. Great change of siggy.

Dang, we rocked out this weekend. Makes me wish I'd bought tickets this year, although I think I am kinda too big and pregnant to really enjoy the games...

OK, so what happens if Texas, Alabama, and Penn State all go undefeated???

This isn't even considering the possibility of some other smaller teams going undefeated...

Penn State's schedule is *by far* the weakest -- and they don't even have to play a conference championship game.

Heck.. the MAC compares favorably to the Big 10 this year.

IMHO, the voters would put Texas and Bama in ahead of Penn State, and for that matter, maybe even a 1-loss team from the Big XII or SEC should go ahead of PSU.

I think Penn State has punched their ticket to the NC game now, I hope Iowa or MSU can knock them off, but I doubt it. I think Texas is a lot more likely to lose, maybe TTech this weekend, then TTech still has OU. And I like the east champ from the SEC (GA/FL winner) over Bama in the SECCG. So I would guess it comes down to whether a 1 loss Texas or a 1 loss GA/FL team goes to the championship. I think the SEC team since they would have lost earlier.

And either Texas, Florida, or Georgia would smear Penn State all over the floor. Watch PSU's game then watch the Florida/Kentucky game from yesterday, the speed difference is ridiculous.

I hope to god that we've learned our lesson about putting Big 10 teams in the BCS championship game.

Wow, whole lotta haters with southern drawls in this thread talking smack. Penn State can't control how competitive the other teams in their conference are playing year-to-year, but it's not like they've never competed against rival conferences and gotten a taste of the SEC/Big 12 "mojo". Their bowl appearances just since '99:

Outback Bowl, Jan. 1, 1999 vs. Kentucky Wildcats (SEC), PSU 26 KU 14
Alamo Bowl, Dec. 28, 1999 vs. Texas A&M (Big 12), PSU 24 A&M 0
Capital One Bowl, Jan. 1, 2003 vs. Auburn (SEC), PSU 9 Auburn 13
Orange Bowl, Jan. 3, 2006 vs. Florida State (ACC *cough*), PSU 26 FSU 23
Outback Bowl, Jan. 1, 2007 vs. Tennessee (SEC), PSU 20 Tenn 10

When Penn State's at the top of its game, I'd put them up against any team in the country. Especially if they're playing for JoePa's last season, they'll kill themselves to bring that man a win.

Season's not over, who knows who will end up where, I'll be happy if they at least just give JoePa the Big 10 Title. But if they earn the BCS slot, believe that they won't fear the competition. You all don't get to enjoy the beauty of a snowy winter day down there, we'll be happy to bring the white out down and give you a little taste of holiday cheer.

I remember that Outback Bowl against Tennessee. Everyone was talking about Southern Speed before that game but we won it with Northern Power and beat them down into submission.

Nothing is guaranteed but I like PSU's chances against the SEC.

Tennessee isn't a fast team, so people were just picking up on the talk left over from Florida/OSU the year before. Southern speed refers to the Florida schools, Georgia and LSU more than anywhere else.

And it's just that I think that the big SEC schools (this year Bama, UGA and UF) have a slightly better defense than OSU and offenses leaps and bounds ahead of the Buckeyes. It would take in the high 30's to mid 40's for PSU to beat any of those three teams and I've seen nothing that would indicate that they could score more than about 17 on anyone with a pulse.

Well, if you predict college football the way you predict baseball... http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...0&postcount=82
