Going to be a very exciting playoffs year....lots of traditional powers are having down years, some by any standards and some by their standards. Teams like Hoban and Marion Local looking more beatable than they have previously. Some format changes (48 per division get in as opposed to 64) should make games more competitive from the get. Very glad to not have to see 16 out of 17 teams get into the playoffs out of a region...

My sons team will finish 7-3 or 6-4 with a HUGE rivalry game this week. They are looking like the 10 if they lose, maybe get up to 8 if they win. Their region is LOADED with good schools, should be some amazing games!

West just made the RB room VERY uncomfortable

This is spot on. What Alabama did with Saban isn't even logical. What we have been doing since Tressel is damn near impossible. Not only do they think they CAN do those things as well....they think they DESERVE it. Because Paterno donated a dollar to the library or some shit.

Didn't see the end of the game, switched with PSU leading and it looked like they were going to pull off a win. Didn't see until this morning the game ended with the patented "PSU QB throws a pick on what would have been a game winning drive" play.

The simulation is broken and stuck on repeat in happy valley.

They say history repeats itself. Remember when Nebraska fired Bo Pelini? This is what Wikipedia says about that:

“Pelini left the NU football program with a 67–27 record, winning at least 9 games in every season. Despite this record, and winning several bowl games, Nebraska never won a conference title under Pelini. Eichorst stated at a press conference that Pelini hadn't won "the games that mattered the most" against top-tier opponents.”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? I wonder if PSU is headed for a similar situation as Nebraska?

Ped State probably has more potential than Nebraska, but their biggest problem is that they want to be where we are, which isn't feasible. Their problem this year was that they let expectations get too high. Losing to Oregon destroyed their confidence and cost Franklin his job. For some programs, winning the games you should win is all you can ask, which is what Franklin was good at until this year. Maybe they make the right hire and take a step forward over the next few years, but there's just as good a chance they make a bad hire and end up middle of the pack in the Big 10. I don't think that fanbase would be happy if they hired a guy like Cignetti when he was at JMU.
