Read this paragraph ladies and gentlemen from Heather Dinich's propaganda piece this morning...This is regarding Penn State...
Need to know: Penn State is about to enter its season-defining stretch, with back-to-back road trips to USC and Wisconsin, followed by a home game against Ohio State. The selection committee will likely want to see Penn State go 2-1 at worst over that span. If the Nittany Lions lose to USC and Ohio State, it's going to be much harder for the committee to justify Penn State in an at-large bid if its best wins are against Illinois and West Virginia. The 12-team format is more forgiving, but the committee members still want to see statement wins on contenders' résumés.
The same ole song and dance...They pump up and artificially rank these SEC teams high so they play a so called ranked team every week...Now they will use the ranking card...So don't tell me the rankings don't matter...Here it is from the ESPN shill mouthpiece...They will use that myth to keep out all the B1G teams with 2 losses...Because they don't rank any of them...This thing is a rigged deal and this is how they rig it...Early in this propaganda piece she states that Bama's win over Georgia holds more weight than losing to Vanderbilt...So bad losses don't matter although in recent history they used bad losses to keep non SEC teams out...Keep twisting folks...
RE: This is why rankings matter. So the SEC are the "pumped up," teams? Not because they spank every other team they play? Or because the big10 and other conferences have easy, fluffy schedules and so many losses against the SEC??? Penn keeps playing unranked teams and losing. I guess it's better than playing a ranked sec team and losing VERY BADLY. Oh wait, no it's not usc is beating penn st as this is being typed. Usc! Ouch. Penn st has to play 2 ranked teams their ENTIRE season, and they'll likely lose both. #4? THAT'S the only joke I see. They haven't played anyone to deserve that rank.
USC is not the team to use in this argument, considering they played and beat LSU.RE: This is why rankings matter. So the SEC are the "pumped up," teams?

#1 A Mo...Wait til a game is over before you bury a team...I guess you know Penn State beat USC...#2 A Mo...You do realize that LSU LOST to the same USC team that Penn State beat in their building yesterday? I will use Alabama's out of conference schedule as an example...Western Kentucky, South Florida, Wisconsin and Mercer...No offense but I wouldn't call that exactly running the gauntlet...It's your 1st post so welcome to the forum...
In 2022, Georgia played 2 ranked teams during their regular season. Oregon and Tennessee. They scheduled Kent State and FCS Samford as well.Penn st has to play 2 ranked teams their ENTIRE season
They won the National Title, so were you crowing about their schedule back then too?
