some think we don't belong in playoffs at all, while others disagree with where we got seeded (#4 or #6 in brackets). Many still don't seem to realize that the committee set the seeds/ranks and not the bracket structure which was setup by the playoff leadership. The committee has explained multiple times that they only did ranking and not matchups.

there is a view that somehow we have an easy path and don't deserve it. Our baseline is winning the next two games with anything less being total failure.
Your second paragraph is 100% true!

Well, using their logic I think they’d have to say that Boise St got the easiest brake. They’ll have a week off and then either play SMU or a supposedly undeserving Penn St team rather than a ‘better’ team. ;)

You may be referring to that ESPN college playoff show, I watched it too. The other two crybabies were on, Pardon the Interruption show, they made sure to point out and complain about the matchups. Jealousy & Sour grapes if you ask me.

I don’t know about the media, but I’m not really feeling the vibe with psu and this playoff - maybe I’m not alone which is why the game is not sold out.

I feel like there was way more interest and excitement in the past when Psu was headed to a NYD against a big time opponent even if it wasn’t for a national title.

Also, you have to play a full third of the regular season schedule to end up in the national championship game, which seems like too many games and may suggest over-saturation.

Well, my PSU buddy at the gym and I agree that PSU has a great chance to make the semifinals. And the two of us can outlift the media.
Aha! So you admit you can lift more than one laptop at a time and possibly a couple of pens, an iPhone, and maybe even a notebook. I know we're in the semis now. Thanks, Lion Jim. 👊

I bet they are the same people who supported Texas being seeded above PSU. The reap what they sow.

Got to figure it's mostly jealous sPitters whose hope of any kind of a Championship was crushed when their WVB Team lost yesterday and PSU Women are headed to the finals - they are losers and always will be.

I'm not sure I could disagree more. Give me a home playoff game all day over the choose- your-fruit bowl against Arkansas or Ole Miss.
