Who the hell is voting Penn St over Nebraska all time? Justify this.

Good choice @iowajerms, at least you can be objective historically.

I think ralphie may have voted for them because of our spat a week or so ago lol. If not, I would like to hear... read the reasoning. Penn St is a solid program with tons of history surrounding them, they are and should be respected. But trying to say that they are somehow historically/all-time better than Nebraska is silly. Nebraska leads them in most categories and also has more head-to-head wins, but whatevs.

This one isn't even close.
Doesn't Penn State hold the record for most undefeated seasons without an NC??

That's all you need to know about that.

Penn State had 4 coaches between 1930 and 2011. Holy shit.

How is Penn State getting 3 votes is the big question here.

Well this is wrong out the gate. Every one of Nebraskas national titles came with undefeated seasons. 70,71,94,95,97.

Then there are the other facts... Nebraska has more wins, bowls, conference championships, national titles, better all time record, more heisman winners, more consensus all americans, more draft picks, more weeks ranked, more weeks ranked #1.

I mean what is there to really compare?

Wasn't including ties. If you include PSU has 6 then. Also, I wasn't comparing.

Wait a minute, what tie are you talking about? 1970? Where they went 11-0-1? I see I must have misread your comment here.

The voting in that era was bogus. Everyone likes to point out Bo has no national titles, but there were a couple years where he might have if the vote just went a different way. Bo had five 1 loss seasons and two no loss seasons (ties). They also did that stupid thing for the longest time where they voted a national champion prior to the bowl games being played.

I honestly don't think there was a year Michigan should have won a title though with Bo. His bowl record really hurt his chances.
