Can Penn state drop below us

When the bracket comes out tomorrow, mark it down:

1. SMU will be completely out, Bama stays in
2. PSU will drop to 8, and we'll be playing them in Happy Valley
3. ND and OSU will move up a spot,
4. Texas will be in there somewhere in front of us too.

Would almost bet money on this.

This all. Of course If the current scores hold.

Oregon got crowned the next coming because Day blew it and Ohio State lost. Ohio State isn't great either as it turns out.

The Oregon defense isn't very good. Penn State is losing but this is about the best they've looked on offense all season.

Remember, Oregon barely beat FCS Idaho.

I mean I think they both suck. I would be fine with them both dropping out but it won’t happen.

Unless they lose big
I have no idea how they could stay ahead of Ohio State. Each would have two losses. Penn State lost at home to Ohio State. Ohio State will have two wins over teams that are in the playoff, Penn State no wins over teams in the playoff.

Manuel said last week that that was the reason Tennessee was behind Ohio State with the same number of losses. He said Ohio State had two wins over Playoff teams to our one. Frankly, under his reasoning, we should be ahead of Texas and Penn State. But their criteria changes for certain teams.

The biggest steamer in the punch bowl is Notre Dame getting such a high seed while playing a G5 schedule. They filled their schedule with city colleges, directional schools, service academies and a couple of P2 schools, the best of whom went 8-4.

Throw in the fact that these mega-conferences are all playing unbalanced schedules. Penn State escaped with a win over a 7-5 Minnesota team on the road. Ohio State lost by a point in Autzen. If you flip those two, Ohio State is 11-1 and Penn State is 10-2 and this conversation isn't happening because Penn State is sitting at home right now.

I agree with all of this

We haven't boat race any good team all year, are you serious?
I’ll revise what I said to 2 teams, bc Penn State has turned it around. Are you watching the ACC game at all? SMU and Clemson are not good. So yeah, I think we’d smoke them.

It would be interesting to see how our defense would do against this Oregon offense. They are dynamic.

And envious of those receivers. Why is it the school that once was called WR U can’t get receivers like that.

That Tez Johnson is quick

4.33 - 40

If PSU loses by more than 14, then I bet they move below us. If they lose by 7 or less than they are in front of us. With a 7-14 point loss I have no idea.
