It may be my imagination, but this situation seems to get worse every week. The computers hate PSU.
The reason is the Big Ten. Take a whiff of every one of PSU's wins, and MSU.
PSU's wins according to Sagarin this week. Sandwiched between 8-2 Temple and 8-2 Eastern Illinois are a bunch of 60 and lower losers. MSU will probably drop if we beat them.
21 Penn State
54 Michigan State
61 Temple (8-2)62 Minnesota
76 Northwestern
78 Purdue
82 Michigan
91 Indiana
95 Syracuse
96 Illinois
124 Eastern Illinois (8-2)

Man, if only we could play ourselves, we could really help our our SOS.
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

No, I don't want to play ANOTHER team with a good D-line, it'd be Iowa/Ohio State all over again

But at least we’d play an o-line that couldn’t block our ohgodivegonecrosseyed

Don't they count the blue white game?
If not then why was I cheering so much?

Not sold yet
They’ll be much better, but I’m not completely sold they’ll beat us next year. Soon, though – I won’t doubt that.

Please someone make them re-join a BCS conference before that happens

I wouldn't be surprised if Pierce transfers
How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?
how much longer is al golden under contract?
think he leaves for a big-6 program soon?
We decide when you hear the snap count...
Notre Dame?
When Brian Kelly turns them down? Al Golden and the Golden Domers? Sounds catchy.

at least bring him in as an assistant
when bradley inevitably become HC
We decide when you hear the snap count...
That Notre Dame job
is the Plague. I don’t think it’s possible to succede to their expectations any more.
Land Grant or bust! Worst 10-2 team ever? Beat Michigan State.
That's why they should hire Stoops
To continue their tradition of losing in bowl games.

Just to keep things in line
Here are the ELO Chess rankings – the rankings used by the BCS:

Michigan St. – 61
Northwestern – 66
Syracuse – 86
Michigan – 91
Illinois – 96
Indiana – 98
Eastern Illinois – 138
Akron – 141
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
It says something...
I don’t know what, but something, when Temple is your best win.
Never mistake effort for achievement.

I noticed Temple got some votes in one of the top 25 polls
Al Golden deserves some credit there.

We should shower him with praise
We’ll call it a “Golden shower”!

"For me the game wasn’t grounded in reality. It was about the uniform you put on that turned you into a warrior. It was about the mythology of the battle, the victory, the defeat, the struggle." - Mike Reid, PSU '69

I suddenly feel like listening
