I don’t want to comment on this thread because my opinion will get twisted but in the pre CFB era PSU is probably playing in the Citrus Bowl and Michigan is in the Rose Bowl. The number 1 big ten team is in the CFB playoff now a days, so how “great” is the annual big ten participant in the Rose Bowl? Probably not that great. With USC and UCLA going to big ten the traditional idea of the Rose Bowl is gone. I think the previously mentioned teams like Stanford and Wisconsin and ‘94 Oregon weren’t very great teams. The current PSU team most likely beats those type of teams, but they certainly aren’t great like pre CFB playoff Rose Bowl teams. With all that being said why do we, as Pitt fans, care? Penn st will always get good bowls due to the viewership and ticket sales to their gargantuan alumni base. I hope they piss down their leg tomorrow but psu is in the past. Let’s leave them there.
