If the football gods told you…

PSU would go 1-1 vs Michigan and Ohio State this season, but you could choose which team to beat, who would it be and why?

For me, logically it’d be Ohio State, because it increases the odds of making the playoff since Ohio State would likely beat Michigan and we’d own the tiebreaker.

But my Michigan hatred is just SO strong…

I respect Ohio State. They've earned it on the field. Michigan on the other hand, is a leather helmet dynasty. Despite their lofty claims, they've won 1/2 of MNC since the leather helmets were put away. Pitt and Michigan.........The Goliaths of the leather helmet era

I would say, heck with the gods, if you can beat one you can beat the other. Go for both.

 

[JWB389]

Ohio State. UM fans will still be arrogant whether we beat them or not. Ohio State is a bigger win anyway. Also because of timing. An OSU win at that juncture puts us on a winning path for the rest of the season.

I would find football gods with higher aspirations to worship, immediately.

Ohio state because that's a better shot to make the championship game since Ohio state will most likely beat Michigan

F you, Jobu! We'll do it ourselves!

Agreed. Except that we haven't really gone head-to-head with Michigan for an elite player lately. Those really stung back in the day of the big losing streak to them.

Don't stub our toe vs. Maryland or Michigan State or Minnesota. We got an 11-1 season.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

I'd beat OSU. Whatever is better for PSU is always the answer.

Always O$U as they are the premier program in the B1G. SCUM is tough on the road but never lose a big game at home.

That’s brings up a good question. How is a three way tie broken in the B1G East? PSU loses to scUM, beats O$U and O$U beats scUM. Who goes to the championship?

 

[marshall23]

My life has taught me that your arms are too short to box with the gods....and I've been kicked in the nuts both as a player and a coach by said deities. So I wouldn't kick a "gift horse" in the chops......I'd say thank you very much... to defeating either one.

 

[Gitzit]

Always like to see Michigan lose, because any michigan fan I know is an arrogant bigmouth. I don't have the hatred towards OSU that most Penn State fans have.

 

[mcpat]

Ohio State. Because it’s at home and 107,000 of my friends and I have more fun when they win at Beaver Stadium.

Isn’t that what happened in 2016?

There are only 4 B1G games that matter. UM vs. PSU, PSU vs. OSU, OSU vs. UM and the B1G championship game. Been that way all year. There are only 3 teams in the league that are playoff relevant.

This was the talking point last year as well. Michigan absolutely dominated Ohio State.

Ohio State has the post WWII program Michigan thinks it has. I have grudging respect for them and they have pretty much carried this league for awhile.

As for the Q, give me a beating of Michigan

They won't this year. Penn State has a better chance of beating Ohio State.

MSU has made it and we haven't....

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Michigan had beaten Ohio State just once in 16 years before last years game. I’d hold off on anointing Michigan as OSU’s equal for a while. 🙄

 

[Parkerdam555]

Ted's a Michigan troll who showed up about a week ago

For the first time in how many years? Come on.

I am talking about this year. MSU is going nowhere this year.

How did Meatchicken do the previous 15 years?
