Dude--it's now a 12 team playoff not a 4 team--how many times would we have made the playoff those year?How many times have we blown it to miss the playoffs? You need to do some research before trying to troll a fanbase.
He’s a jokeDisagree. The effort in the 1st half is not worthy of a playoff caliber team. PSU ha by a total lack of discipline given Minny momentum and Minny gets the ball to start the 2nd half. If PSU loses they might drop out of the top 12 and deservedly so. If they manage to get it together and win they drop several spots.
We're fine with a loss--I've said that all year--and things keep going our way--see Ole Miss losing. We're safe with a lossDisagree.

AmenGet rid of the cutesy, cutesy football. Allar starts to get in a rhythm, and they call some crap plays. He can beat Minny with his arm.

When's the last time Franklin lost a game he shouldn't?This isn’t going to work all season. With all the injuries and cold weather setting in, this feels like the time it won’t work out.
D.So we got Minnesota’s a game and rolled out our c/c- game?

This isn’t going to work all season. With all the injuries and cold weather setting in, this feels like the time it won’t work out.Why? We're the better team. We've seen this countless times. Our talent takes over and we're better in the second half
We also don't need to win to make the playoff but we do for the 6 seed
