The Lawrence Welk Look!#cockstreit, nice baby shit colored suit he was sporting last night. He's a dick
Here is the good news. We can't be voted out like we could 20 years ago.
Win them all, and we are national champs. 98% probability.
Can we still get screwed if we lose one game? Sure. Is it better? Yes.
Would it be better still if we weren't in this lousy conference? Absolutely.
I would say that if you think Penn State has total control of their destiny, then you weren't paying attention last season. While I don't think there is a widespread media bias, I do think that Penn State needs to have the common belief in the media that they are a playoff worthy team. I think that CJF knows this and is working to make statements and convince everyone of their merits.Here is the good news. We can't be voted out like we could 20 years ago.

I would say about the same control....let's say Bama, Oklahoma, Clemson, PSU and USC all have one loss. Who gets left out? Then maybe throw in another one loss team, say it's Michigan. If you think PSU is a slam dunk to get in, you're crazy.I'm not saying that. I'm saying that we have a lot more control.
Had we won them all, we'd be national champs. Heck, had we only lost one, we'd be national champs.
Far better than before.
I don't know whether I classify as a Herby lover or not, but I don't have a problem with him. I don't think he's biased with his positive or negative statements to any significant degree. I was once an umpire who also played. If anything, my umpiring calls would go against any team that I could have conceived to be favoring just to prove I wasn't biased.

The new system is the same as the old system except they take four teams instead of two. It's the BCS 2.0.No, I agree with you. If two teams have one loss, we are probably getting left out.
But it is still a mile better. We won every game in 1994 and were voted 2nd best.
Big deal. What Herbie thinks week four is meaningless.
You could argue that we should not be much higher than 7 right now. We beat three bad teams, and then needed a last second TD to beat an OK one.Big deal. What Herbie thinks week four is meaningless.
By the way, we beat Akron (1-3 and just lost to Troy), Pitt (1-3), Georgia State (1-2 after an impressive win over Charlotte) and Iowa (3-1 but unranked and gave up 41 pts to Iowa State in an overtime win).
Lets not pretend that you can't make an argument that we don't belong in the top 4 yet.
Yup. He likes offense. Go figure.Don't get that at all. Oklahoma won 48-41 over winless Baylor (0-4). Clemson was tied with Boston College 7-7 in the 4th quarter at Clemson. But he drops Penn State for digging out a win in Iowa City which he had been promoting all week as a very tough place to play and giant killer stadium at night?
Frankly, it goes to show you that the 'eye test' is basically how many points did you score? Struggle with inferior teams but win 48-41- all he sees is you scored 48. Struggle with lowly BC but score several garbage time TDs to make the score better- all he sees is 34 points. Only score 21?- you're being dropped.
His jacket certainly didn't.Mrs. Herbstreit doesn't pass the looks test.
I'm not saying that. I'm saying that we have a lot more control.

OSU beat Indiana by 28 in the first game of the season.tO$U squeaks by Indiana this year and it was a great road win. Doesn't move tO$U.
PSU does what UM couldn't do last year at Iowa at night and PSU drops... totally unbiased.
Oklahoma also went into Columbus and beat up on Ohio St. That win is far more impressive than going to Iowa and winning on a last second TD.
