In the first year of the expanded B1G and playoffs, PSU was given a gift of a schedule. Granted scheduling is always, to some extent, the luck of the draw.
There's always conspiracy theorists
We lost to Ohio State because of play calling and Wallace dropping a perfect ball that would have been 6.

Most dont think There's a conspiracy but some will say this is further proof there is. No margin for error even though there is.

It’s not the gift that’s important, it’s what you do with the gift.

LOL. Street, that, starting the season on the road in 12 of the last 13 seasons? @ usc and @wisconsin were no gifts.

I don't think it was obviously a gift schedule at the beginning of the season. @USC, Washington, @Wisconsin, Ohio State were expected to be challenging games (or at least 3 out of 4 of those teams should have been ranked in a normal season) and games against Minnesota and @WVU were expected to be tricky.

Also, it turns out that PSU's schedule isn't half bad when one looks at various SOS and 'strength of record' metrics - playing allot of 6-4 teams and beating them convincingly adds up. Other contenders (ND, Tex, LSU, Mia, Ind, Ore) have weaker SOS per ESPN).

What a joke you have descended to. Saying it was a gift of a schedule means the league gave them what were expected to be easy wins.

But preseason expectations were that at USC would be very difficult. Illinois and at Wisconsin tough games. UCLA and Washington to be competitive. No one thought it an easy schedule.

The only gift here is your attempt to cover for the B2G…..🤷🏿‍♂️

Here is what I mean. The B1G schedulers definitely did not deliberately give Penn State a tough schedule. They would have if they were biased towards PSU as has been alleged on this board. Now, granted some of it is luck of the draw. No one really knows how good a team will be until they actually play. Indiana is an excellent example of that.

Funny to use the term "gift" when we played West Virginia and USC, and you get to play weak assed Akron and Michigan! I would love to throttle Indiana this year too, as opposed to our night game at Wisconsin. Try not to shit the bed against a D2 coach!

Nobody was given a gift schedule. Predicting who the best teams are going to be in a given season is difficult, except for OSU being a constant. With these 18 team conferences scheduling becomes a lot more important and they are going to get it wrong more than they get it right. We are going to see the tiebreakers determine who gets to play for the conference title an awful lot going forward.

So you're telling me the B10 all got together and decided when doing the scheduling for this year "hey, let's give Penn State an easy schedule! We've screwed them so many times they deserve it. " I'd much rather have them decide to tell the refs " let's just be consistent with calls and be fair to each team!" Tell me why this year, they take Michigan off the schedule if they want to give us easy wins!. And why not take OSU off the schedule?

As if the b2g schedulers knew Indiana would be 10-0???... or that USC average? BTW, the jury is still out on Indiana - they're 10-0 against one of the weakest schedules in the nation (103rd).

Ohio State has played 4 teams which are currently bowl eligible. So has Penn State. Indiana has played 1.

And most likely Penn State will end up with the highest # based on remaining games. So who got a gift, in addition to a dogshit OOC schedule?

This isn't the same B1G that was biased against PSU.

These schedules were negotiated with a much larger group of teams.

The bias is still pro OSU and UM, but that's obvious to just about any casual observer.

The Big Ten has given Ohio State and Michigan a scheduling gift for decades. I want you to play in October and then deal with let down games after you lose.

The B1G arranges OOC schedules? Michigan is the defending NC. They were predicted to be far better than they are. OSU played Akron to give Akron a big payday. Akron needed it. OSU plays an Ohio school most years for that reason. I do not believe OSU plays D2 schools.

Don't worry about PSU. Why don't you be happy with the fake catch gift vs. Oregon and the 15 calls you got against PSU?

I was watching a video of some unknown ESPN idiots who all agreed that if Indiana beats OSU then Penn State should be out of the playoffs even if we win their remaining games convincingly. They believe that any 3 loss SEC team deserves it more because the SEC should have 5 spots while B1G should not have more than 3 spots. Maybe our schedule is not the gift some think. The odd thing is that Texas was noted to have the 56th SOS, while ours was 32. Not one of the fools said Texas should stay home.

We need to keep getting better and pound 2 or 3 SEC teams in the playoffs.

So if the Big doesn’t have it out for PSU, why does PSU start every single conference schedule off with a road game? No one else gets stuck with that, not even the bottom feeders, so please explain.
 
Just curious:
What difference does it make?
Over the course of two seasons, each team will play 18 conference games (9 home, 9 away). It all evens out.
Just looking for things to complain about.
 
You Wish Buddy!! I'm about sick of these myopic statements.

You keep putting a disclaimer on your post."Granted , some of it is the luck of the draw!" Amazing that it gives no disclaimer on PI and holding calls.

Who cares what they say. We are a 100% lock for the playoffs if we win our next 2 games regardless of what anyone else does.

Texas, IMO, is also getting a pass because they scheduled Michigan. Yeah, Michigan sucks but that's an A-level effort for a non-conference game. They also still have A&M which will help their SOS.

I agree with your last statement. Let's just get in then win a couple games. Can't complain at that point

Why don't you go back to your own board and explain to them that the calls that went against OSU vs. Georgia in the playoffs were legit. The SEC refs were absolutely correct in their calls!

Don't have a board to go to. I don't do paywalls. OSU-Georgia? Who brought that up? That's right you did. Have you ever heard me whine about that game. OSU lost because they played poor D in the 4th quarter, not the officiating. Nothing to whine about. Try it.
