I appreciate someone from the OSU camp giving us a little credit. I'm one who doesn't automatically hate another team just because they don't happen to be my favorite. I rooted for OSU in the last two NC games and against USC because it makes the Big10 look better if they'd have won. I'm fed up with all the SEC is the best talk. All things being equal, I feel PSU is better than OSU this year but it's gonna be scary traveling out there. That gives you guys a great advantage. No offense to Wisc or Mich, but I feel that the OSU game is going to be the toughest one of the year followed by Wisc. Mich being a little weaker this year added to the fact that we have them here makes me feel a lot better about that game than the other two. Either way, best of luck! And if you guys do beat us and win the BIG10, for christ sakes beat your opponent in the bowl! Shut the SEC people up! :)

Have we forgotten who Maurice Clarett is/was?

Being a Penn State fan, I've kept my mouth shut through most of these posts, but lets be careful when we make statements such as this. So you're pretty much guaranteeing an OSU victory against PSU later this season? I think PSU has a strong team this year and I'd never make a statement like that. I try to give the opposing team a little bit of credit and would never automatically guarantee a win. Kinda makes you wonder why you guys blow the big games doesn't it. Overlook your opponent and get you a** kicked. Do I think OSU has a good team? Yes I do. Do I think they're a top 5 team? No I don't. Do I think PSU is better right now? It's tough to judge seeing as there's been no common opponents, but I'd have to lean a little towards yes based on non-conference opponents. Yes, PSU played some weaker teams and steamrolled them, but Troy and Ohio are by no means top teer teams and OSU struggled. Try to take an honest look instead of making blanket statements like guaranteeing victories. BTW.....I fully agree with you- a playofff system is needed badly
