professor the playoff. 1 loss to Ohio St. and they get in. I by no means am counting on that BUT the schedule is set for them to pull it off!

Dumb on their part to let an in state rivalry go like that. The rivalry and tradition are more important than $, which in the end hurts Pitt more. Not very forward thinking. I suspect they will rehash that if/when Pitt has a resurgence!

      To the fans but not the schools.

        Pitt had a resurgence in 2021 winning the ACC title and finally, they're playing well enough now to be ranked right now. They, Penn State is not willing to bargain in good faith. Sad... the tradition's worth more than the money.

          My former family Dr. was a star quarterback for Pitt back in the day.

          Penn State 7-0. Was scared there for a bit but they got it rolling in the second half.

            jsippy73 a true test for you guys this coming week. Wisco, although they hung tough, are talent depleted on offense.

                You're right, though Ohio State looked flat this week.

                    May have been a whole different outcome if the guys called "receivers" for Wisconsin, actually caught the ball. I felt bad for their QB. They sucked!

                        professor He did a great job filling in.

                        He is the grandson of a good friend of mine I’ve known for years. Watched Pribula all through HS and now at PSU. He is very talented- obviously. 👍

                          professor true, but Locke threw too many rocketballs when he needed more touch/finesse.

                            jsippy73 yes, if Penn St. steps up this is a year Ohio St. could be beat. I don't think Oregon is great either. As I look at the top 12 now it's wide open, no dominant team. Good year to kick off a real playoff!

                              Big game ready to start. Over 110,000 there for the whiteout. Happy Valley, Pa.

                              Nice start for the Nittany Lions

                                Duke against Miami is unexpectedly competitive. Duke was up 28-17 but now Miami has a four-point lead, near the endmof the third quarter. I don't think Duke really has a chance, but it has been an interesting game so far, and it's a chance to see Heisman hopeful Ward play quarterback. Spoiler alert: he's good.
