Using your example, why should a USC team that has demonstrated that it's not as good as the numbers 1, 2 and 6 teams even get an opportunity to play for a so called national championship? Why should those number 1, 2 and 6 teams potentially have to beat that USC team again?

Oh nice since Allar and singleton are more impactful, does that mean they have an even better chance of getting invited to New York for the Heisman ceremony?

critics, you’re just flat out wrong. He is a complete back and his yards per carry stack up with the best in the Big Ten. The three most impactful players on this team are Allar, Singleton and Warren in that order.

Incorrect! The two best running backs in the league are Saquon and Derrick Henry.

I guess basketball ratings are an inexact science at this point in the season. Updated Pomeroy rankings https://kenpom.com/ has PSU at #32, while the NET ratings by Warren Noland

e has PSU at NET=86 (Live RPI = 79).

Both have Clemson (next opponent) ranked in the 30s, so this next game is a big opportunity for the Lions.

Much appreciated for you providing context (after the fact), but you still lack other teams information for comparison. You simply shared local, fan base focused pieces that lack data about other teams.

Injuries are common. I don't see us losing guys at any abnormal clip.

I’d like to see a little more attention to defense, because they’ve given up a lot of points in recent games and probably have become infatuated with playing Paul Westphal Loyola Marymount style offense, which probably will be a losing formula in Big 10 games.

. I wonder if that's something the coaches take into consideration when making the final decision on who will be the starter?

6'5, 6'8 6'9 7'0. Have the Lions ever had a line up this size?

Seth Ciasulli, the video creator, seems to know Tyler pretty well. He has some interesting comments about Tyler near the end of this video. We saw Tyler's ability to come through in big matches during his national tournament run last year. I wonder if that's something the coaches take into consideration when making the final decision on who will be the starter?

"Tyler has always been more of a gamer. He shows up big for matches when everything is on the line. You'd be surprised how often wrestlers are the opposite. I coached Tyler in State Finals in 7th grade when he pinned Conner Harer, who is & was a multiple time State Champion, in what was just a crazy event. Tyler's Dad & I just kind of looked at each other & shrugged & moved on."

Instead of Brands tossing a Brands, I say let Cael and Jake play with them.

This is 8-2 at best for them, the rest of the matches potential bonus point for PSU. Not every one will, of course, but potentially in every other weight.

So you think that if Oregon loses a close one to OSU, then they should be dropped below Boise St?

Or that Boise St, after beating mighty UNLV in their CCG, should jump 7 spots and be ranked ahead PSU, ND, Georgia, Miami, Tennessee, etc.?

If I were in charge I'd make the very unpopular decision to include ALL conference winners. That's 11 conference champs and maybe 3-5 additional at large spots to get to an even number. I'm not a huge fan of playoff byes so probably 5 at larges, 16 team team playoff. And in no world would I ever exclude an undefeated conference champ because of an injured player like what happened to FSU last year. Higher seeds host the first 2 rounds.

I know the powers that be would never agree to this though, so to compromise I'd probably take the champs from the P4, the top 2 ranked G5 champs, and 2 at large spots. 8 is a big enough field IMO. Top 4 teams host the first round.
