Realistic impact on Bowl Games

The NY6 bowls will be ok since they’re attached to the playoffs. I think the rest of the bowls may be in trouble.

The last few years they had few interesting matchups. Any small schools going to the lower to mid Boca Raton type bowls will be unchanged I think. Most of their players will play and they don’t really attract a lot of fans anyway.

The mid to upper (non NY6) type bowls will take a hit IMO. Teams that generally get selected to those games will have a lot of players sit out since they aren’t in the playoffs. I think fan interest will dwindle over time as a result.
The Bowl games will be like midweek MAC games, for TV only. The playoffs will make a lot of money but the bowl experience is over.

Still pretending no players were issues under Joe?
Hey, Dipshit, in case you haven’t noticed I’m ignoring you and your buddy Thurston Howell III. Why don’t you two make a date to watch last night’s replay of the best quarterback in football? NFL Network can’t get enough of him.

Penn State used to be different from most every other program but that was under a former regime. In fact that is why that loser from LSU dropped the hammer on Penn State when he was running the NCAA. He was embarrassed that Joepa could achieve success with honor while LSU and most others lied, cheated and stole their way to any so called success they were able to achieve. Funny how they tried to take Joe and Penn State down and we’re still standing while the NCAA circles the drain. Coach Franklin has done a good job balancing all the forces in the current environment of college football but nobody can achieve 100% success. As far as you’re concerned, your envy is the one thing that shines through loud and clear.

Those mutts will not squawk half as much as the PSU mutts that would squawk 10 times more if this happened to one of theirs. Would be 10 pages of complaining about how they have no class (like we do).

Just goes to show how PSU is no different from any other program.

What to expect from Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a good team. They've won three blowouts in a row...albeit none of them against top-25 competition.

It's better to go into Madison thinking tough game and be pleasantly surprised than to expect to beat them easily and find yourself in a dogfight.

Way too much overconfidence in the fan base. Fortunately, the coaching staff won't buy into it and will make sure the team doesn't either.
By not top 25 competition here you mean MAC level...why are we constantly trying to make opponents better than they are

And this is why the playoff will expand to 20 or 24.
