I suppose they can but I'm not counting on it

Do we have a better chance if we don’t play?

um? oregon? washington?
Out of these 3, we only play Washington this year unless we make it to the B1G Championship game where we may play one of the other 2. In that case, It's been written both teams from the B1G Championship make the CFP.

Bwifan has us finishing 2nd behind T™️osu. I was questioning whether um, washington, and/or oregon would finish above us. I wasn‘t considering who we play.

It wouldn’t shock me if they could get there. But, I think we lose at least two - OSU and USC. I also think it’s going to be tough for anyone to run the table in conference so who knows - stay healthy and hope the new coordinators are an upgrade (on offense anyway). It should be a really fun season to watch - elimination of divisions and new blood will make for a very unpredictable year I think.

I have the summer optimistic view that the offense is going to be really good and the defense will be solid. Talk to me in late November how well my optimistic views (I feel this way every summer..) made out :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

The game has to slow down for Allar and he's going to need more help from the WRs and OC.

Stating the obvious.

Winning the Big 10 this year means beating OSU *AT LEAST* once most likely. If we beat them in the regular season, I'd rather not rematch them in Indy.

Still nowhere close to being sold on Allar, so highly doubt it. (Not that he's the only issue.)

Say we finish 2nd to OSU in a close game and they are ranked 1 at the end of the season and that's PSU's only loss. I would venture to guess the 12-team format will put PSU in the top 4. Had it been the old format right at 5

Five conference champs (B1G/SEC/ACC/Big 12/?), and then next highest ranked seven teams. Let's pretend:

B1G - OSU
SEC - Georgia
ACC - Clemson
Big 12 - Utah
Group of 5 - Memphis

Then let's say:

Notre Dame
Alabama
Michigan
Oregon
Florida State
LSU

That would leave one spot available for the likes of PSU, Texas, Ole Miss, A&M, Miami, Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Washington State, Oregon State, etc.

Yeah lots of room for improvement. Interesting though that he tied the QB from Maryland in most TD passes in Big (25) as a first year starter.

The receiving depth chart isn't exactly Kenny Jackson, OJ McDuffie, and Bobby Engram. I have hope, but there was no improvement there all season last year. None.

That's a ridiculous hypothetical. If PSU ends with 1 loss (a competitive loss to OSU, at that), as was suggested, they're clearly in the sure-thing invitees grouping, not battling it out with a bunch of schools for the final spot. We'd likely be much closer to #5 than potentially out of the playoff, and you'd be looking for excuses as to why we shouldn't credit Franklin.
