Does Penn State need to make the CFP this year to secure its program legacy?
Penn State football has been very good under head coach James Franklin. But is this a legacy year for the program? Today on the BWI Live Show, host Thomas Frank Carr poses that question to experts Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer. With the end of the four-team college football playoff formation, does the team need to make the playoff before the field expands?
The trio will discuss head coach James Franklin’s comments to Bauer earlier this month. They’ll also discuss what he said on On3’s national show, The Hard Count, with JD Pickell. Has Franklin changed in recent years, admitting that the team looks ahead on the schedule?
Join the show at 10 am on YouTube to join the discussion. The trio will take your questions during the show and feature the best during the BWI Mailbag, which closes each Wednesday show.

Has Franklin softened his stance on “one game at a time?” Also, what do his comments say about Allar and his role in the offense this fall? Bauer and Fitz will give their thoughts.
