I’d rather have Davis pull another “Davis” than Davis pull a Spencer Lee. That whole spectacle was an embarrassment. Getting pinned wasn’t the issue, it was bailing on his teammates afterwards, his mom’s hatred for eyewear and his daddy doing interviews for him. 🤦‍♂️

And after all that he still managed the best finish of our men’s Olympic wrestling team, guess it all worked out okay for him.

Ohio State’s Center out for the year

Well we only play Ohio State once per year, as opposed to a whole season, so that is not up to me. But there is usually some kind of bullshit, and 2024 had at least 3 BIG instances, besides all of the Oline holding, Defensive Back grabbing, and Wide Receiver picking.

duhO$U was called for 2 penalties for 15 yards in PSU game - anybody who watched the game knows what a laughable joke that is.

Should we schedule mercer like Alabama?

There was a thought back in the days of 11 game schedules and 8 conference games that the 3 OOC games for PSU would be split as follows: 1 for a former eastern rival, 1 for a national rival, and 1 for a pay-to-play home game.

This is harder with a 12 game - 9 conference game schedule because every other year the conference only gives 4 home games, so I think Franklin is working toward 1 former eastern rival and 2 pay-to-play home games. When the "eastern rival" is Temple, this is weakness.

PSU used to be able to count on playing OSU and UM every year, plus either Wisconsin or Iowa who would be strong, but that's no longer the case as we are seeing this season. Hopefully Franklin will see the light and replace "eastern rival" with a tough national rival in the OOC schedule.

I think Cignetti will have them ready. I don't think it matters is Ohio State is ready.
We see Indiana differently which is fine. With their schedule we're all guessing. I got Ohio State at -12 and couldn't feel better about that.
While the media isn't respecting Indiana--the polls are.

I don't know how Indiana's defense will hold up against the OSU WRs. Rourke can play and they have some WRs. OSU will shut their run game down like Michigan did.

In a 12 team playoff you must have 2 loss teams. This logic doesn't make sense. 11-2 Ohio State with 2 losses to #1 Oregon including by 1 on the should and will be the 5 seed

My favorite quote from Bill Connelly at ESPN: "Maybe the most important point to remember, though? If one of these four SEC teams is left out in two weeks, the snubbed team still will have lost twice. They could have saved themselves by not doing that."

I agree that there will be 2-loss teams getting at-large bids, and there will be 2-loss teams getting left out, but the latter have no right to complain, IMHO

Who to root for

I think we get the 6 seed if we win out regardless of what other teams do. The only exception is if OSU loses to Indy or Michigan.

I'm rooting for a ND loss to either Army or USC. That would improve our chances to still make the playoffs if we finish with 2 losses.

Yep, we need to just win out. Can't realistically get any higher than 6th but could slip to 7th if Indiana wins over OSU as you note.

It would be nice to see Florida beat Ole Miss and knock them out or Bama losing but that simply puts Tenn back in so does it really matter. What would be cool is both of them lose but I think Bama could still get in with 3 losses.

Sorry for the loss of your furry companion. Glad you found a place to replace her. Another option if in the mid-Atlantic is the Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue. Not puppies, but good dogs looking for their forever family.

Yep. We visited that place at their last open house before going up for the Whiteout game. Amazing place and awesome people running it. After our visit, we decided that we will, at some point, adopt a dog from there along with getting a puppy. Just not sure which will come first. Thanks for the recommendation!
