#2 Penn State @ # 6 Ohio State - pregame thread

10 keys to Ohio State-Penn State, from opposing coaches

I'm going to jinx Penn St, but I'll make the call.

Penn St 27 Ohio State 24

This should be a GREAT game. Ohio State wants revenge, and Penn State is pissed because the playoff committee took Ohio State over them last year. (which was the right call IMO)

Forecast says rain will stop before kickoff, may be in the mid 40s

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Great Dayne]

As much as I despise that D Bag of a head coach from Pedo U I'm taking them in this game. They've improved on the O-line and improved a little on the defensive side. It's difficult to gauge either team at the moment but OSU lost to the only decent team they faced at Home by 14 points. That team has then went on to lose to a bad team and struggle vs terrible teams.

PSU 28 OSU 24

It will still be close and not really a high scoring contest. Barkley will break out for a long run in the end to win it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You scared to play us

Not in the least. OSU winning makes the BIG look bad since they lost to freaking Oklahoma. Of course this game would be meaningless if MSU wins out and then no BIG makes the CFP.

Shit, we made the Big Ten look bad by losing to a highly ranked team? We must have really made the conference look bad in 2014 we lost to unranked Va Tech

I would disagree. If MSU wins out, that would mean they beat both OSU and Penn St back to back. That would be enough to get them ranked top 5-7. If Wisconsin beats them and remains undefeated, they should still go to the CFP.

Michigan State would need some help to make it, namely Notre Dame losing another game.

I believe we lost by 16

Even worse then. Yes I would like a PSU victory here but OSU is coming off the bye and has a ton of confidence with many big victories in a row. I think it will still be a great game and I'm very conflicted because the PSU HC is even more of a D bag than Jim Harbaugh.

Tat would be one of the things. Also, Miami losing during the regular season.

It just wouldn't be a good look as MSU has no hype and a low ranking. Although the PAC has been dreadful this year so that could be the ticket into the CFP. I honestly don't know who in the PAC is the best of all the mediocre teams. WSU had the worst game of the year, USC has been drastically under performing and narrowly escaped a couple bad teams. UW lost to a trash team. Stanford should've lost to Oregon st and has two L's already. That conference is jacked. Then the BIG 12 has a small school as their best team right now and Iowa st might be the second best in that conference. lol

I think beating OSU and PSU would give them the hype.

Correct, an undefeated Wisconsin vs PSU with both being ranked in the top 3 would be a crazy hyped game.

It's basically the playoffs before the playoffs. Hopefully there will be a real playoff system instead of a bunch of humans using biased opinions on who deserves to be considered the top 4 teams. The NFL has it right.

Gawja gas looked good but I still think they slip before the sec champ game, but maybe this is a new squad that wont choke
