Glad to be talking football again...

This writer has Penn State as "overrated" at #8, but Washington at #6 is "underrated"?????  I'm better Washington gets clocked by Auburn in their opening game. I get that you could say we are overrated at #8, but a team we manhandled in the bowl game is underrated at #6?  REALLY?

Had James Franklin not held Barkley back we could’ve beat Washington by 6 TD’s, every time we got a 2 TD lead Franklin took Barkley out. Washington was a JV team compared to what we had last year and Washington was a pretty good team with a good coach we were just that strong and IMO we’ll be stronger this year. BIGGER, FASTER and STRONGER baby!!

If Auburn wins, then PSU'll be "overrated" at #7 the following Sunday and I'm ok with that.

I have no problem with being ranked lower to start the season. I'd rather have a lower ranked team that feels it has something to prove than a high ranked team with a target on its back.

I say put us at #21.

Definitely a good point remoh, something to be said for not putting too many expectations on a team.
