In 9 years at PSU, he's won exactly 3 games against the top 3 teams in the B10. Only 3 ranked teams on the schedule most every year, with only 1 top 10 team most years. And, with that record, PSU gets ranked in the top 10 almost every year! They're ranked 7th now after losing at home vs. Oregon, who traveled across country to play at PSU. Talk about B10 bias!

You’re including his years at Vanderbilt in that statistic?

Not sure if you meant to do that, but the title should be edited to 4-21 (16%) against top 10 teams if we’re solely talking about how he has done with Penn State (which it sounds like you are from the rest of the post)

Yet every year they get preseason hype. The important thing is that his assistant coaches have attractive wives.

It's the most blatant example of the idiocy and crookedness of "preseason rankings". Based on the return of a "5-star" QB who has proven incapable of winning against anyone but creampuff Big 10 teams, they get a #3 rank, which somehow moves to #2 off of three wins over FCS opponents!

They lose against a team forced to fly across the country after playing a rivalry game and remain in the top 10, and now will gradually climb the rankings beating up on their pathetic Big 10 schedule until they lose to Ohio State again, but will still get a home playoff game at 10-2. Meanwhile a team not ranked highly in those "preseason" polls has little to no room for error.

One more loss for UT could mean no playoff, even at 10-2, depending on what else goes on, like Indiana cashing in again with their schedule.

I honestly wish the SEC would just close ranks and have our own 4-team playoff to determine a champion. F***k the rest of CFB and the biased "committee" and national media. Without the SEC, CFB would be a joke.

On the surface, they have two tough games left... Ohio State, which should be an L, and Indiana at home. The rest of their schedule is cheeks. I could see those clowns losing to Ohio State, somehow beating Indiana, and taking care of the B10 trash and still somehow getting in the playoffs.

While we're at it, why not give Notre Dame a proper ranking. Already played, and lost, the only two teams that were ranked when they lost to them, or likely to be ranked still by seasons end. Game 3 forward is a pathetic ND schedule only PSU can appreciate.

And will still get a home game in the playoffs. The top of that league is comparable to the SEC but the rest of that conference is ass.

You seriously think Penn State will win out? They still have to play at Ohio State. There’s no way they are making the playoffs unless they win out, let alone getting a home game.

I don't think they win out. They will lose to OSU, and may lose to Indiana. I could see them still in the playoffs at 9-3 because of B10 bias.
