If they move ahead of the Tide, I'm really going to be disgusted. Not because I think Alabama completely deserves their ranking, but because Penn State hasn't beaten a currently ranked team... or a team with a winning record, for that matter. (Oregon State and Illinois both have .500 records and both play tonight), and you could never convince me that they can beat a team like Georgia. I usually pull for them, but I have to admit that I hope Ohio State crushes them next weekend. Sorry, but the Nittany Kittens are the ultimate "pretenders" right now, and I do not... I repeat... I DO NOT... want to see another Big Ten team getting massacred in the BCS Championship Game this year.
HOLY F#@K!!!! just admit it..you DON'T pull for penn state..your jelous..of them. i watched bama today and the way they played penn state would have destroyed em. on the other hand, penn state looked like s%#t for the 1st qtr and a half against michigan who were hungry. by the 2nd half it was all penn state. a penn state team that would have ate the crimson "died" and sh$# them out on any fu#@in SEC team. BIG 10 COUNTRY IS NORTH COUNTRY. btw ilinois was ranked so was wisconsin and so was michigan first week of season..we'll prove it next week in OHIO ST.Damn, that was an ugly win. Bama got outplayed and outcoached through the entire second half. Thankfully, the defense stepped up when they needed to. This team really has to learn how to play an entire game with intensity, especially the offense. Every Tide fan knows our QB is second-rate, but the O-line has too much size and talent to not play a full 60 minutes. Frustrating, but oh well... a win's a win in the SEC (Just ask Florida).
I'll tell you what... there isn't a better 3-4 team in the country than Ole Miss. Houston Nutt's teams never quit.
I'm sure this will give the pollsters an opportunity to leapfrog Penn State over Bama, even though Michigan is as weak as they come.
/ rant. (Be quiet, plenny. No, really...)
ROLL TIDE.
and you call me annoying...WTF do ya call this...there is no such thing as schedule strength anymore..anybody can beat anybody these days..granite, alot of schools in the "sec" and big 12 and yes big 10, are balooned to be the best because of recruiting high school all americans, while the small (inferior) schools get the overlooked kids who are smaller and sometimes pan out better than the all-americans. with that said, i believe some schools deserve more respect than they really get. i know alot of penn states games were easy esp. out side of conf. except for oreg. st. who is better than most think. in conf. illionois, ohio st. and mich st. when they are on can even hang with the "big dogs" in the SEC...jmo
Those have to be the stupidest things you've said in this thread... and that's an accomplishment. I'm not even going to try to explain it to you in baby terms.
Penn State wouldn't score 14 points against Bama's defense. Ole Miss defeated Florida in The Swamp. Do you think PSU can hang with Florida? If you truly do, you flat-out lack intelligence.
plenny, I don't know if you've figured it out yet, but most people outside of the midwest have no respect for your piss-poor conference. We're really tired of weak-ass Big Ten teams who have no competition, no conference championship, and a commissioner who doesn't want to ruin a good thing by having a playoff system.
You used to humor me... much like a retarded child. Now, you've just become annoying. Go celebrate your huge win.
J/K
I seriously choked on my coffee when i saw where florida was ranked, unreal man. I'm headed up to the kentucky game next week, so it should be fun.
Great website you posted as well.
1/2 of big ten????? :fool2: I can't wait to see your irrational dreams crushed:toofunny:
they are much improved this year,,they are even ranked #25 i believe...ANOTHER BIG 10 TEAM IN THE TOP 25[B. perhaps you should join in the fun on this thread because i am being ganged by a bunch of fair weather SUC..I mean SEC fanatics. i take it with a grain of salt but "they" like to call big 10 gurus derogatory names...but its all cool. good luck in school and training!!!!!:woohoo:[/B]
rubbering..i really feel that your students are rubbing off on you...btw...pygmy eleven is my favorite...:clap2:
yeah...penn state fans are obnoxious, i'll admit that..but the worse fans are..philadelphia eagles fans.
if you asked me that last year i would say no to all of them. this year yes..except i havent really seen texas play yet this year. and usc( talk about a weak conf.) depends on which team shows up. but put any of those teams in Beaver Stadium on a brisk november night..then psu hands down...holla!!:aargh:plenny, you know I'm just messin' with you. I'm a teacher with special ed students, so I was trying to be ironical.
I completely disagree with you about strength of schedule though. Yes, there is parody in college football, but if a team isn't consistently challenged week to week, how can we know if they're as strong as their record boasts? I'm not talking about "fluke" games like USC-Oregon State. Everyone knows that if they played 5 times this season, the Trojans would take 4 of them. Texas has had two back-to-back games against top competition, and they blew them both away. Alabama took care of Georgia. What big win has Penn State had? You're ONLY challenge is next week against a team who has been embarrassed in the last two nat'l championship games (and against USC). This is a rebuilding year for them and they're playing a freshman QB. That's your team's big game this year.
plenny, if strength of schedule doesn't matter, let's put Tulsa at #1, since they have the #1 offense in almost every category. We'll put Ball State in the top 5 while we're at it. Does that sound logical?
Oh, and the new polls just came out. Penn State's still #3. Have you ever asked yourself why they're ranked behind Alabama, when PSU was ranked ahead of them at the start of the season, and they have one more win than Bama? Answer: Strength of schedule!
Penn State's stats look excellent... because of their schedule. Big Ten defenses are sad this year. SEC defenses are incredibly strong this year. Penn State looks fast... but they'd look like they were in slow motion against a Florida, Georgia, or Alabama. In fact, I think they'd struggle to score against South Carolina, Vanderbilt, or Kentucky, although those teams aren't equipped offensively. On the flip side, PSU hasn't seen an offense like Florida, Georgia, or Alabama. So, their padded stats would disintegrate by the 2nd quarter.
Look, a win's a win. Stats mean nothing anyway. But I'll say it again: I don't want to see Penn State win out on their cake walk schedule and sit around for 5-6 weeks waiting on the BCS Championship Game. They will get their asses handed to them if they have to play a Big 12 or SEC team.
If you want to continue to disagree with me, just ask yourself honestly if Penn State can beat the following teams. I'll even leave out Bama:
Texas
Oklahoma
Florida
USC (forget your Oregon State logic)
I don't think Penn State could even play those four teams close.
Just my $0.02... retard.
