Missed perfect season by 1 point

Trounced Oregon State who kicked the doors in on USC and Oklahoma State

Winningest coach of all time and in bowl games

You've got my vote... then again I park in the Stadium West parking lot everyday.

Penn State lost to Iowa! And their schedule was weak. Sorry, but if you want to be ranked higher you need some strength in your schedule.

Hey Jack,

As much as I'd like to give my Alma Mater, Oregon State U, credit for beating Oklahoma State. That was our much hated in state rival, University of Whoregon *ucks.

Penn State did indeed kick our fannies, but that was at the beginning of the season when the Beavs had a totally new front seven on defense that were learning the system. Traveling from west coast to east coast also makes a difference. I can guarantee you that as good as I think Penn State is, they will absolutely have their hands full with the Trojans. Particularly the USC defense. I do think Penn State will give a much better account of themselves against Pete Carroll than the vastly over-rated Suckeyes.

My Rose Bowl prediction is...drum roll....

USC 31, Penn State 17

Tough cookies baby!

^3 Yeah Lizardo, if you want to be ranked higher you need tough games like the Citadel, Wofford, or Louisiana Monroe like the almighty SEC teams schedule annually as fodder for their creampuff OOC schedules.

^ Also, perhaps you can explain why a home loss to Mississippi State is less damaging to a ranking than an away loss to Iowa.

Got me, I'm a Big 12 fan.

Go Gators!

I don't hate pennstate, but let's just say I went to Pitt....

Hey Jtokash, did I go fishing with you a few years back at little cove creek in Bedford on the first day of trout? I was smoking a cigar with my brother and I think you and your dad were smoking cigars too (if it was you)?

The Gators are great

But would not scare

Penn State

Jack put down the crack pipe. Penn St overrated? Not so much.

JV compared to the Pac 10.....they are stepping up in class today and it is showing threw 2 quarters. The Penn state offense cannot keep up and the d isn't good enough

Damn what a let down.... i figured USC would take it but i thought it would be a better game...

I'm sorry, did you say UNDER rated?

It's 31-7 at the half, brother. I honestly thought this game would be a lot closer than it is, so far.

Perhaps you meant OVER, no?

#13 "... d just isnt good enough."

Understatement!!!

USC is just picking Penn State apart. Wow!

Oh man. I gotta find that post where I said they would get nailed in the RoseBowl.... lemme go look. Prolly one of AndyTV threads.

So where is Andy?

I'm a little disappointed. (Other than the BAMA game) the two games I was looking forward to the most were this one and LSU vs GT.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

Yes, they only had one loss, but it was to Iowa! And as you can tell, their schedule was not exactly tough. If you want respect, and want to contend for a title, play some Big 12 teams (but you'ld have to beat them for it to do you any good). Penn State would only be in the bottom half of the Big 12, down there with Baylor, Texas A&M, and Iowa State.

They are proving today that if anything, they were overrated.
