Updated College Football Playoff Poll

[Mr. Potter]

So, let me pose this questoin to the board.....

The playoffs first round are scheduled 12/20 (one game) and 12/21 (three games).

More than likely, PSU should get a home playoff game (unless PSU pulls a 1999 season ending 0 for three) The last game is 11/30 at home vs Maryland.

Would you prefer PSU play a Friday night game on 12/20 (assume an SEC team), or would you rather a 12 noon game on 12/21 (also assume an SEC team)?

I think a night game on Friday would be great. It would not compete with anything else (I don't think the top 20 men's hoops are playing on a Friday, and the NFL has not resorted to Friday games at that time). Also pretty sure HS football is done.

Edit - just checked the NFL schedule. If your are a fan of the Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs, or Texans, it is feasible that if PSU gets a Sat game, you would have to split your time between watching your favorite NFL team and the Nittany Lions. Houston and KC are at 1 PM and Pittsburgh and Baltimore are at 430. Also, PSU men's hoops plays at Drexel on 12/21 at 12 noon.

The 21st (Which is Joe Pa's Birthday).

I think it's an easy call as well, but I can also tell you that people I know who have season tix (and should get tix for this game) are dreading the thought of trying to get up to SC after working to make it for an 8 PM kickoff. Having a 12 noon kick makes it easier for their travel logistics. But, they have nearly a month to work it out, I suppose.

You certainly make a good point... students are already gone as well. I would head up for the game but i am getting my second hip replaced 12/4

I was watching ESPN and they said today Penn State would play Ole Miss in the playoffs.

Host Ole Miss. Saw that too.

IU should be ahead of PSU and Texas.

Huh? PSU's strength of schedule is 27th whereas as Indiana's is 81st. By the way, OSU's is 26th and Oregon's is 45th.

Without the now antiquated "rules", PSU's history would look much different.

* Undefeated means something regardless of schedule as long as it's passable
* First to lose, first to get in line to rise

You ever find a pool table?

It makes for a nice discussion now but things will sort themselves out. I will say that if Indiana beats OSU then they’d be ranked ahead of PSU. I expect OSU to beat IU.

Using your logic, I guess Army should be as well.

Army isn't in the Big Ten or the SEC.

Email for playoff tickets sent and we put in for ours. Reasonable prices too for our section, EJ, $206/ticket. Have to buy all the tix in the allotment tho and parking could be affected by weather and lot conditions. I would hope for a Friday game because if it is 12/21, I won’t make it due to a family Christmas party.

I’m gonna enjoy your take after Indiana gets boat raced. Your hill of sand and twigs etc

 

[Nitt1300]

Players aren’t opting out of the playoffs. Stop the nonsense.

are they getting paid extra?

 

[WVilleLion23]

And neither Army or IU have played a great opponent. We will see how good IU is when they play in the shoe

Hey bro, I’m not having any of the schit until 12/22, ok? Thank you.

Lost in a one score game against likely the best team in the country. Didn’t work out that badly.

I'll buy 'em for Saturday! I have a feeling we'll get the noon or 4 PM slot. I suspect the NCAA will want anyone hosting up north to get a day game so it's less cold, and Fri logistics for getting to state college for many can be a mess so PSU may ask to not be given that time slot.

The 4 pm slot will not be a day game. In Dec. that will look like 8:00 now.

Ohio St. can't play night games after Oct. 31.
