Football Penn State falls in AP & Coaches poll despite 63-0 win

[The Spin Meister]

If we win out that means Michigan lost so you're saying we MIGHT then jump Georgia.
I don't think anyone jumps Michigan or Georgia until the lose. We likely find out--hope I'm wrong because if we beat Michigan and Ohio State should be 1 heading into the playoff.

And either Mich or Bucks win out they will be there if Georgia wins but struggles in a game or two.

That makes three possibilities. Maybe Texas.

Wait how is Texas a possibility with a loss?
Maybe Michigan or Ohio State (or us) jump them but Georgia would have to struggle--still seems unlikely.

No worries
No Washington hasn't lost. Washington may have a chance because or their schedule but its going to bw though.

 

[fastlax16]

to the extent it is a problem (which it isn't) the blame falls on our pathetic OOC scheduling, not the voters who are making a rational ranking here

Washington’s OOC is a real murderers row…

You're right but the depth (real or perceived) of the Pac XII helps them.

this would have happened to any team that was sitting one spot ahead of Washington and playing UMass the same week that Washington beat Oregon.

Right...

 

[91Joe95]

Georgia and Michigan are considered the best two teams--until they lose they'll most likely stay 1-2.
Past success matters even if we wish it didn't

You know what else matters? Pissing away decades of goodwill among those who vote.

This is at least the 2nd time psu scored 63 in a blowout win and dropped in the polls. 1993 63-25 over osu.
