Calling out Penn State...

Penn State isn't relevant enough for people to care. The two times this decade they weren't irrelevant, 2005 & 2008, also coincided with Ohio State having major personnel issues at QB & OL. Those PSU teams were underwhelming in bowls as well.

Just curious - when does Penn State get called out for having a terribly soft schedule. I mean - Joe Pa baby food soft.

Always Dawgin' the Big Ten. C'mon, when was the last time an SEC East power had two seasons in a row with a September road game against a decent BCS Conference opponent, outside of the Deep South?






OK, last year and this week is an acceptable answer. :tongue2:

Actually, I have seen a couple of sites call them on it - I think CFN and ESPN.

Plus, they played that tough Coastal Carolina team last year.

I second this. PSU hasn't had a truly strong team since the mid 90s. So no one cares. They'll go back to their regular 7-5 soon enough...

What about the glamour program of the SEC? Charleston Southern, Troy, FIU, and FSU for a OOC schedule. Congrats on having a tougher conference than the Big 10, but I dont see your conference and the best team in your conference (Florida) really stepping it up.

Also, Joe Pa is a grumpy old man who probably doesnt know where he is, but you cant call the man "soft" after doing what he has done for 50 years.

I liked their 2005 team. I mean it wasnt as strong as the mid 90's teams, but I still thought they were a very competitive and good team. Tough defense and scrappy/old school offense.
