Somehow the PSU team that eviscerated us is giving MSU a chance to win on the last kick, and an OSU team we haven't beaten sans Fickell in forever is laying a total egg in Iowa City. It's fantastic and so annoying at the same time

Penn State deserves nothing good in this world. I'm glad they lost.

Agreed. As happy to see them lose as I am to see MSU/OSU lose

I'm sad that MSU after going 3-9 is doing so much better than us, but OSU getting blown the fuck out makes me feel better.

What evidence is there to support the claim that MSU is a far better team? They beat us by 4, and they'll have the same record as us after tonight.

BEcause 1. They don't have as many resources as M 2. They have lower rated recruits 3. Their QB is actually good despite what this board have OU believe. Which how the F aren't people annoyed ? Hoyer, cousins, cook now lewerke Annoying.

The fact that they beat us with players that would barely be considered back-up at most P5 schools. Seriously, Dantonio is starting like 3-5 walk-ons because of all the offseason losses they had on the 2-deep, and still managed to significantly improve on a 3-9 season.

I meant their season, as in if they win next week they'll go to the championship game most likely. While we need multiple teams to lose and win out just to have a 4 way tie.

Think about it- this is going to be their best team in at least a decade or two. Next year there's no Moorhead, no McSorley, no Barkley. This is the best team they've fielded in years and years and they're out of the playoff

So sweet

PSU has the skill players, but the weather and Sparty hungry leads to one of their biggest wins this year. Just didn't see it coming.

Mark Dantonio: 0 National Titles, .650 career win percentage.

Urban Meyer: 3 national titles, .850 career win percentage.

Dantonio is a good coach, but this is a laughably stupid claim.

Whatever helps you sleep at night dude. Meyer was at Florida and OSU with extraordinary talent. Dantonio is at the shithole known as MSU. Nobody does more with leads than Mork...nobody.

Meyer has 5 stars at every position. Nothing stupid about it. If Dantonio had players of Ohios or michigans caliber he'd have a national title.

Dantonio's winning percentage at MSU is significantly higher (.688 to .575) than Saban's was there. He also led MSU to three consecutive top-6 national finishes. Given the inherent disadvantages of that program, that is pretty incredible. I put Saban and Meyer as the top two current college football coaches, but Dantonio deserves credit as an elite coach (and a perfect fit for that program, just like Harbaugh is a perfect fit for our program).

OSU just lost by the same 31 point margin to an unranked team. I bet you have to go back decades to find OSU's last 30 point loss to an unranked team

I miss John Cooper.

Before that you have to go back to 1914 and Illinois, who was unranked because there were no rankings yet but were retroactively named undefeated national champs.

The same for Penn State in 1912. And Michigan in 1905 was two points shy of the same.

Oberlin beat 'em twice in 1892, 40-4 and 52-0. Maybe those count? There were some Western Reserve and Kenyon beatdowns in those years, too.
