I’m glad OSU-Indiana isn’t on the same time as Pitt

Watching at home, I do wish they'd mix it up more. Has anyone had a bigger downgrade in games than CBS? The network went from showing the best SEC game every week in the 3:30 slot to a mid-tier Big 10 game. Penn State against Purdue last week and against Minnesota this week. These games are BTN worthy, not for that prime timeslot on CBS.

Probably the ratings would say otherwise. These guys know what they are doing.

Although, hard to imagine who was watching that Purdue game.

Picture this…. A loving family is sitting down for Thanksgiving and they’re all enjoying their meal. Even 90-year-old Grandma and Grandpa have a big smile on their face! But then you get up to propose a toast to Grandma and Grandpa and remind everybody that this could be their last Thanksgiving with the family because they are old and sickly.…. Basically, you are reminding everyone about what they already know but trying to stay positive and enjoy the moment. You are then ostracized for being insensitive.

Next year rolls around and the grandparents die before Thanksgiving. You go out of your way to tell everyone that you were right and they were wrong…

Yes, we know that can happen with EVERY player that commits. We know it's not official until they sign.

As my grandpa said before he died.... "You don't have to eat sh#t to know you won't like the taste."

Sheesh....

Well, it's not really me reminding everyone of the worst that can happen; it's calling it like I see it. I predicted double digits wins before 2020 (pre-Covid, when we thought Twyman would play, Ford would play at an AA level, etc.) and 2021.

And this thread was posted more in an "oh well" than "I told you so" tone, though I admit I often get too easily prodded into the latter.

In football, we are a Mid-Major

I'm not sure what the argument is this year. The SEC is far and away the best conference. Pound for pound, they might have 7 of the best 9 or 10 teams in the nation but they cant get them all in because they beat each other. Its an extremely strong league. The fraud is the B10 because you only have 2 really good teams and then IU and PSU, both of whom haven't played anybody. That said, if both go 11-1, they are both in, just as an 11-1 Pitt team would have been. So, there's nothing to complain about from that standpoint. Now, if PSU loses to Minnesota and gets a bid at 10-2, 1 kinda bad loss, and no quality wins, THEN that's a problem.

This is interesting, especially after Lane Kiffin talked about Conference Championship games. No doubt a lot of coaches will feel this way.

Not much upside to playing in this game unless you're a bubble team. A bye week is negated by playing in a conference championship game and you don't get the chance at a home game. A loss could knock you out while a team sitting at home gets to play next week.

It won't be long before they expand the playoffs to 14-16, but at the very least, change it to the top 4 teams getting the bye rather than top 4 conference champions.
