PSU fans are not the ones who said the Big was the best conference in football this year, that was everyone else. And guess what? A few years ago when pretty much everyone agreed the SEC was the strongest conference in football, they had the worst bowl record that year. It was widely discussed and accepted this year that the Big was the best conference whether you think so or not and that is not just something in Penn State fans' heads.
Clearly the right decision. Ohio State 0
We won the division, the conference and beat OSU head to head, in any other sport other than fbs PSU is in the playoffs over OSU. Tonight's game proved that OSU did not deserve to be there, will find out Monday if PSU deserved to be in.
And last year when MSU got crushed in the playoffs, OSU fans moaned and complained that the committee obviously took the wrong team, but now that the shoe is on the other foot, they're not saying OSU was the wrong choice. Funny how that works.
Seriously, and what Urbie had to work with this year versus what Franklin had to work with, either Urbs is getting soft or he's not a very good judge of quarterback talent.
That's entirely untrue. In most sports they choose the playoff teams by overall record, not division or conference record.
If by "you guys" you mean Ohio State, I would say it went decidedly better than your games with Pitt and Michigan, and about the same as your game with Minnesota.
I've explained that fact in previous threads. But just like the difference between 1 loss and 2 losses, you guys tend to ignore facts while shouting your predetermined talking points and ad hominem attacks.
Apparently not. Clemson lost to that same Pitt team and just beat OSU. They're still in the hunt for the trophy.
true. when wisky beat lsu(who later fired their head coach after having a bad first half of the season) people started to think that the bifg 10 was back. osu beat okla so that added to it. for whatever reason(like psu) lsu and okla were not playing good ball then. but they had the reputation as national powerhouses. so that made the big 10 look like the conf to beat. mich, psu, wisc and osu are all good teams, but i felt that these top big 10 teams were not quite all they were cracked up to be. why? osu lost a million starters from last year. this was a rebuilding year for them. mich returned a lot, but had no set qb as the 2nd string from last just was not that good. psu was still developing. wisc has no offense. i think the big 10 i solid, but weaker than the acc and sec. then probably the big 10, pac 12 and big 12. the bowls are kind of proving this.
That's because Clemson didn't also have a 39-point loss on their resume in addition to losing to Pitt.
By your tone and logic I would say: 1) You're young and 2) You're progressive. History is a problem for both. Look up 2001 Baltimore Ravens and maybe then you will understand why you WIN ON THE FIELD!!!!!
Yeah LOL. Let me change my question........Who were you before you got banned Mr 6 post man??
The SEC was Bama and a few middle of the road teams. The ACC had Clemson and FSU...Louisville folded like a cheap suit anytime they played someone other than early against FSU. The Big 10 was better than both of those conferences but not by a lot. All the conferences were pretty close to each other but the Big had more top level teams.
I'm trying to figure out what you mean by 2001 Ravens? if you mean the 2000 Ravens that won the 2001 Super Bowl, then the Ravens lost their division and went 1-1 against the conference winner. They wouldn't have made the playoffs if it wasn't for the Wild Card.
It's not necessary to try again when you get it right the first time. I'll give you an example of why I'm correct:
Or Hockey, where the Penguins have the better division and conference record, but are 2nd in the division because it goes by points from overall record.
Or the NBA where Chicago is 12-11 against conference opponents, but is ranked behind 9-12 Indiana and 8-9 New York in the playoff race.
yup.. a zillion years ago and with nothing resembling the team on the field the past 8 games. Put another way, do you think the UM tream that played fsu last night has anything resembling a prayer playing the one we played in game 4? Times change, things evolve... we stepped up... the other stepped down.
lol, dude.
Ohio State sucked when the chips were down against PSU and they really, really sucked tonight.
ur right. so allow me to re-phrase... penn state is left to hold the banner of this piss poor bunch of schmucks. great spirit in the sky help us all if wisky loses.
