Penn State is the B1G Champion. At worst or best, they'll be playing in Pasadena.

PSU has been a strong second half team all year ... down 3 TD's we (our group) knew a touchdown was needed before half and we were relieved when that happened. However, adjustments on the line play were imperative ... to overcome Franklin's boneheaded decision to go for it on 4th down around your own 40 ... and then do it a second time from just over mid field... and the fumble that gave Wisconsin a TD! Ugh! But the boys held tough ... fun game to be present and kudos to MOST of the Wisconsin fans ... some very class people!

Nice musky ..... I'm ok ... Not ready to jump off any bridges or anything ... I knew we were gunna loose but was hoping for a better showing ...
Alabama ,as good as they are , is just gunna have to force the rest of the SEC and the rest of college football for that matter to get better ...
I would be surprised if any other team beats them this year....
But I may be wrong ...idk

I take it back that PSU played pretty well but Art is still a homer.

The QB played an impressive game.

College football playoffs need to be expanded to 8 team with the power 5 conference getting automatic bids with 3 at large teams.

I agree with you on all counts, Bruce. I am a fan of my "home team," McSorley is the real deal at QB (very young at the start of the season and made some poor decisions which cost us the Pitt game in the the final minute), and expanding to 8 teams with the Power 5 Champions getting an automatic berth would be a good idea.

Will be an interesting Rose Bowl. u$c is probably the best team in the Pac12 right now. Opening betting lines have them as a 7 point favorite.

Not surprised. PSU has been the underdog, and for good reason, all season. Yet, after the 4th game of the season all they have done is win. It should be a good game with USC scoring often in the first half and PSU scoring often in the second half. Who scores the most will win the game. That is my prediction.
