Now, the chances are slim to none that we run the table or finish with 1 loss, but let's assume for a second that we do finish with a Big Ten Title and are 11-1 or 12-0.
Does anyone else on this board agree that if we win all 12 games, the media and the voters will keep us out of the National Title game and vote us #3 going into the bowls? What if we are 11-1. In that scenario I think we have no shot.
Assuming we do avoid major sanctions (by reading the media reports one would think the NCAA has already closed down the entire town) what do you see the ramifications being in the polls going forward? if we thought the media hated us in the polls before, it's going to be MUCH worse in the future.
I honestly can see some of the voters not ranking an undefeated PSU team in their top 25 just to make a statement. Actually, I can see a lot of them doing it.
