James Franklin: 4-26 against top 10 opponents (15.4%)

[LAVol1]

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)

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.

He’s also 0 for 1 in handling player rape cases. A total slug.

To be fair, I don’t think we ever find out about the wins.

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.
