Penn State goes 11-1.
August 26th, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
And go buy that toaster!
August 26th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
I'm trying!
Also USC goes 7-5 and Oklahoma goes undefeated.
And to add a wrinkle to my Penn State prediction, they lose the division but make the playoffs.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:26 PM ^
Ok, I'm intrigued. How do you see psu lose the division with one lose but still make the playoffs?
I'm guessing you think they lose to OSU and beat Michigan. Then OSU loses to Okla and Michigan and Michigan loses to psu and another big team. This would have a 2 lose OSU as big champs. However, the committee will not put psu in over a 2 lose OSU big ten champ imo.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:28 PM ^
Why do you keep writing lose instead of loss?
August 26th, 2017 at 2:42 PM ^
Probably a combination of writing from a hotel room in Vegas slightly hungover, and being dyslexic lol.
I should put the phone down and get more sleep.
August 27th, 2017 at 11:12 AM ^
You should put down the phone, man up, and get your ass back to the craps table.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:39 PM ^
Your making this to complicated. PSU only loss is to Michigan. Michigan goes undefeated. Both get in.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:44 PM ^
Yeah, I did think of that as another option after. I like that version much better.
August 26th, 2017 at 3:20 PM ^
You've got it aside from a different analysis in your last sentence.
August 26th, 2017 at 6:22 PM ^
I think the way this would happen would be if OSU is perfect.
Say Ohio State finishes 13-0 and is the #1 seed. If PSU's only loss is on the road at that #1 team AND it's a close game, they'd have a good argument.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:45 PM ^
....and that "-1" is to us!
August 26th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
Yup.
August 26th, 2017 at 12:55 PM ^
Right tackle is a major concern.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:09 PM ^
We got ulizio.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:17 PM ^
RT and CBs keep me up at night.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Are they playing their music too loud again?
August 26th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
Darn kids!
August 26th, 2017 at 2:29 PM ^
It doesn't matter as long as you can close your eyes and hear football.
August 26th, 2017 at 12:57 PM ^
10-2, offensive line still a major concern.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Disagree. Offensive line will be good, running game will be very good and the young wide receivers will struggle until a breakout game at Penn St. 11-1 with loss at Wisconsin.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:32 PM ^
If this happens and we win the big. How much does a late lose on the road hurt Michigan for a playoff spot?
There is always talk about how bad a late lose is in that regards. However, I don't think it matters in a situation like this at all.
August 26th, 2017 at 3:49 PM ^
If Wisconsin is a quality team, wins the West, and we proceed to exact our revenge at a neutral site to win the championship, it shouldn't matter one bit.
If the other four power conferences are very strong (seems unlikely; looking at you Big 12...) and we lose to a surprisingly crappy Wisconsin, it might cost us.
Generally though, you have to expect a 1 loss B1G champion is in the playoff
August 26th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
We'd need to beat Wisky in the B1G championship game. Which we would be in with wins over PSU and OSU.
August 26th, 2017 at 12:58 PM ^
Speight is a Heisman finalist. Not kidding.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:22 PM ^
The future bet on him pays 175:1 at 5dimes right now. He's a long shot but that's a huge value play. I was gonna lay $20 to earn $3500 but with the hot take of a random MGoPoster on my side I may have to go $100 to earn $17,500!
August 26th, 2017 at 2:46 PM ^
All the usual suspects were included among the 25 listed. No Michigan players... Go Speight!
August 26th, 2017 at 3:12 PM ^
Love that play on the field - good luck!
August 26th, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
I predict you will regret that prediction.
August 26th, 2017 at 3:46 PM ^
checks out.
August 26th, 2017 at 5:48 PM ^
Man, you could fry eggs on a take that hot.
August 26th, 2017 at 12:58 PM ^
msu goes 4-8
August 26th, 2017 at 1:12 PM ^
What an improvement! Things will really be looking up for them then.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
...why not, that would be a 33 1/3% improvement for them.
August 26th, 2017 at 3:50 PM ^
It'll be 4-8 with dignity
August 26th, 2017 at 12:58 PM ^
(Yet again) this year.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:18 PM ^
Barkley ran for 100 yards only 5x last year.
Me thinks we bury him and McSorley again.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
Also, I believe I saw that PSU is 2-7 vs. top 25 since Franklin arrived. Penn St. Paper Tigers for sure.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:34 PM ^
PSU is overrated. Mark it.
Franklin sucks, their O line sucks. They are going 9-3.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
I can see them losing to Iowa, Ohio State, Pitt and Michigan.
9-3 is not out of the realm of possibility by any means.
August 26th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
Glass houses...
August 26th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
Texas makes the CFP
August 26th, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
I have second degree burns from being in the same room as that take.
August 26th, 2017 at 2:11 PM ^
Only second degree? I need to improve my technique.
August 26th, 2017 at 3:08 PM ^
Maybe you should rethink that toaster.
August 26th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
Speight has 3,500+ passing yards.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
We go to Madison undefeated. No idea what happens from there.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:03 PM ^
have any idea about what happens before that either, so get off the fence.
August 26th, 2017 at 1:06 PM ^
I THOUGHT THIS THREAD WAS FOR HOT TAEKS, LDEVON!
