He bumped out Penn St. because he attended the UT/Arkansas game and UT won, which all gave them the boost to be No. 1 in the polls?

Penn State had a couple of unbeaten seasons back then, but their schedule was regarded as weak.

I don't think it was inadvertent. Nixon went to the UT locker room and declared them champs.

Nixon knew what was going on at Penn State and put them on his enemies list

Texas and Arkansas were #1 and #2 in both polls.

Penn State was already banging kids back then right?

Joe Paterno had like 6 undefeated seasons. He is the GOAT college coach IMO
