November 23, 20178 yr Are they better than Washington State? Because that's probably going to be USC's best win. Who would you take? I honesty don't know. PSUs best win is probably Northwestern.
November 23, 20178 yr Author Who would you take? I honesty don't know. PSUs best win is probably Northwestern. No question. Penn State would beat Wazzu by at least 2 TDs.
November 23, 20178 yr You can say OSU doesn't deserve to be in there all you want and I would agree with you. If they get in it will be because of default. You keep saying Wisconsin and Penn State havent beaten anyone and they haven't. Just answer my question: Are Wisconsin and Penn State better than Washington State? I don't want a super long post explaining your answer. Just a simple yes or no. If so, literally the only argument you could have would be that the Iowa loss is just too bad to overcome despite their good wins. All I can say is maybe. Washington state can score. We don't know much about Penn State and Wisconsin. Penn State did lose to its only ranked teams it's played. So since Washington State is ranked, I guess I should assume they would beat Penn State. Wisconsin is an unknown and I think it would depend where the game is played.

I credit you for sticking your ground.
November 24, 20178 yr No question. Penn State would beat Wazzu by at least 2 TDs. Why so much trust in Penn State....what did they show you? Barkley is neutralized, the defense got exposed by shall I say it......Michigan State. Is it because they took you guys to the brink? Probably the latter

Is it because they took you guys to the brink? Probably the latter They are just a much more talented team than Washington State. If you want to put USC over Penn State I would agree with you, but Washington State would get blitzed by Penn State.
November 24, 20178 yr They are just a much more talented team than Washington State. If you want to put USC over Penn State I would agree with you, but Washington State would get blitzed by Penn State. Based on what exactly? Zero evidence based off who they have played that, that would happen. Washington state at least beat a ranked team too, Penn State has failed in their games against rank teams. Penn State made JT Barrett actually look good in a big game, and thats the only good offense they have seen. I think it would be a high scoring game that would go either way.

I'm sorry but I question your ability to evaluate football if you don't think Penn State is infinitely more talented than Washington State. How many NFL players are on Washington State? 2? Penn State has at least 4 on both sides of the ball.

Seems like the talking heads agree with him based on the fact that the two teams are close in the different polls. It would be a good game with neither team markedly better than the other.
November 24, 20178 yr Author Seems like the talking heads agree with him based on the fact that the two teams are close in the different polls. It would be a good game with neither team markedly better than the other. Since when do polls indicate who would beat who? Polls are about who deserves to be where. They both have 2 losses that's why they are ranked close together. I'm seriously confused at how anybody could think Penn State and Washington State don't have drastically different levels of talent. The gap between PSU and WSU talent wise is as wide as Alabama and Kentucky.
November 24, 20178 yr Darn I forgot, the team with more potential draft picks wins. Forgot to tell Pitt that today.

Osu probably the most or second most talented team in the country but yet they got blitzed twice. You said Penn State would destroy wsu. I simply said why I think you are wrong. But ok then...

I'm seriously confused at how anybody could think Penn State and Washington State don't have drastically different levels of talent. The gap between PSU and WSU talent wise is as wide as Alabama and Kentucky. And no polls aren't usually for who deserves to be where. If it was based on who deserves to be where osu wouldn't be where they are. It's about who people think are better and people see the talent on osu and that's why they are where they are. It's not because they deserve to be. Polls imo have little to do with teams deserving it. They should be that way, but as it is now it's not.

Penn State is better as well but for the sake of this discussion I stated specifically more talented.
