We went 9-4 in 2006. Same amount of games we play now. But, you think 11 wins now is the same as 8 wins in 2006?
How will Penn St fare vs Michigan & Ohio St this year?
- Thread starter Ole Ted
- Start date
But Wally is "in the know."Not so sure as I've seen a few WAY TOO EARLY projections and haven't seen MSU mentioned in any of them. Here's a couple but as mentioned - EARLY. Most have OSU, UM and PSU in the top 5 to 7 but no MSU. I have seen Iowa and Wisky and even Nebraska on one or two
Here's a couple

The 2022 college football season may have just ended, but Mark Schlabach already has a top 25 for next year.www.espn.com
Way-too-early college football preseason top 25 for the 2023 season
Here are some very, very early preseason college football rankings for the 2023 season.www.ncaa.com
Probably a huge understatement.
If you're talking about Wallace Breen, you're being way too kind. There is nooooo way he believes some of the stuff he writes
Had eleven wins in ‘05, ‘08 and ‘09. Won the B2G once. In ‘05 we were ‘heal toed’ out of being in national title game.
And was 8-1 when the scandal hit.
And that paycheck was pretty small by comparison to others of that time.

Go look at the strength of schedule in 2006 compared the murderers row of mediocre opponents we have played as of late. 06 was the hardest schedule we have played since 94 when we played the hardest schedule any undefeated team has ever played.
The offensive talent level is pretty low compared to 94, 08 and 09. We have considerably more talent at QB than 16/17 but are lacking at every other position.
We weren’t getting in the national title game in ‘05 regardless of the call. We weren’t beating out either Texas or USC.
Don’t worry, if we go 10-2 or 11-1 he will come back and say our schedule was really easy and his 7-5 prediction was accurate if the teams we played were as good as they were supposed to be. He is probably the world’s worst gambler.

The only "stacked" team in the B1G - according to roster rankings - is OSU but their dumbass defensive coaches can't figure things out. Saying their defense has been pathetic over the last 3 to 4 years is giving them a compliment.
Here are the 2022 - 247 Composite roster rankings:

They're behind OSU in talent - obviously - but probably have a better coaching staff than OSU. UM just seems to develop players better and that's a tip of the cap to their coaches - especially on defense
I heard the NFL is going offer them a franchise as an expansion team. Part of the deal is a guarantee of at least a wild card playoff berth to match the treatment they get in the B2G.
Think the OSU defense will be much improved, but Larry Johnson's line needs to improve to help out the corners.
If that's the case, OSU will probably smoke my ND and run away with the B1G but I have to see it first. To say their defense has under-performed over the last few years is a HUGE understatement and that's on the dipshits they call a defensive coaching staff
Likewise - I want to see it first. That school has just wasted a ton of talent on the defensive side.
Keep telling yourself that. And by the way, even if this would be true, which it probably isn’t, why do you have to come onto this board and post this shit; are you that insecure? Your boys have had two chances in the last two seasons and have failed miserably. The percentage of doing it three years in a row probably isn’t good, especially when they have to play at PSU next season.
Real talk. I couldn’t care less about a loss to TCU.
Dominating Ohio St & Penn St for 2 years while taking down the Big Ten title is what I’m proud of.
Make no mistake. The road in the Big Ten goes through Ann Arbor.
Are you that bored? You should be watching the Michigan-Minnesota hockey game instead of posting on a Penn State message board. You must be very lonely.
By the way, I’d be very surprised if the 2023 edition of Michigan football will be better than the 2006 edition.
Definitely watching Michigan hockey skate circles around the Gophers right now.
2023 has a pro prospect at every position on offense. Best RB duo college football has seen in years.
O line will win the Moorhead Trophy again.
Why would we possibly give a sh!t? This is a Penn State board…go rub one off on a Michigan board.
I’m sure Georgia and TCU will be impressed if Michigan wins the Moorhead Trophy again. I guess that when you get embarrassed in playoff games, you always can say that you won the Moorhead Trophy to make you feel better.
I’m going to play your boring game. Next season, Drew Allar not only will win the O’Brien Award, but also his first of four Heisman Trophies. Nick Singleton not only will run for 2000 yards, but he’ll run for 3000 yards and win the Doak Walker Award. James Franklin will win the Bryant Award, and be so in demand that he’ll simultaneously coach PSU and an unnamed NFL team in 2024. Manny Diaz will win the Assistant Coach of the Year Award, whatever that is named. Oh, last but not least, the 2023 PSU team will be better than the 1982, 1986 and 1994 teams combined.
With all of that sure to happen, I don’t even know why the season should be played; the National Championship just should be awarded to PSU right now.
Allar looked really stiff and scared in mop up duty when Michigan blew out Penn last year.
