I tell you what the BIG is not doing Penn State any favors with future scheduling. We are constantly having to run through a gauntlet of top teams in consecutive weeks. And since "the game" is a protected love fest by the BIG Ohio State and Michigan rarely have the same.  They need to get rid of that nonsense that that game has to be the last one of the season. 

Look if Penn State is going to eventually have to win a National Championship they are going to have to play good teams in consecutive weeks to do it si maybe this helps them in the long run. It just seems like PSU always ends up on the short end of the stick when it comes to scheduling. 

Take a gander at these games played in consecutive weeks....  PSU will play Ohio State and Michigan back to back weeks 4 out of 5 years starting in 20-21.
