Who to root for

I think everyone has the right idea here. I think if PSU wins out we are in the playoffs and get a home game. If PSU loses another game, it's the bubble at best and probably SOL.
For SOS:
YES --- Illinois over Rutgers
NO --- MD over Iowa (we can always hope)
NO --- Wisconsin over Nebraska
YES --- OSU over Indiana (unless you're sentimental or you have a slim hope of PSU winning the conference)
YES --- Bowling Green over Ball State
YES --- West Virginia over UCF

To Keep B12 and ACC as 1-bid leagues
YES --- Kansas over Colorado
YES --- ASU over BYU
NO --- Wake Forest over Miami, Virginia over SMU (These two ACC games if we're really optimistic - but UM has a chance to lose next week vs the orange)

The Anti-Irish vote (ND currently takes up a bid, but another loss probably knocks them out.)
Army over ND

SEC Chaos is our friend
Oklahoma over Alabama
***YES --- Florida over Ole Miss
Auburn over Texas A&M
NO --- Kentucky over Texas
NO --- but UMASS hung in there for a while --- (I'm assuming that Georgia and Tennessee will handle UMass and UTEP)

Several of these went our way. Illini will be ranked, BGSU and WVU won, and more important, another 2-loss SEC team bit the dust.

Glad PSU found a way to win despite playing not too well. We've seen Minnesota kill PSU seasons before, so let's take the win and get out of there.

Football James Franklin's gusty decisions help seal 26-25 victory for Penn State

lol Penn state 244 yards passing Minnesota 175.

We beat Minneapolis in every measurable stat except for 3rd down conversions.

It wasn't pretty, but it's a win. The same "this will be a tough game" posters act shocked during the game thread that we aren't winning by 30. Some outright predict losses then get mad the Minny didn't lay down from the opening snap.

Well, we can stop complaining about other teams getting the calls

PSU is head and shoulders better than IU. Minnesota had a week to get healthy. They threw the kitchen sink at PSU today. Fleck is a weird dude but given that much time can come up with a really good game plan. As a long time coach myself, I take any win even not playing well. You survive those types of games, it makes you start to believe. Which is the key always.
So many on here say that Fleck is a better coach than Franklin, then we have a close game with him and they’re surprised….I don’t get it. Either he’s a good coach or he isn’t.
