Penn State should be in the playoffs. LSU is simply a much better team than their record indicates. Penn State's run defense isn't good enough to beat them and LSU's defense can nearly shut down any offense. There's only a handful of teams with the run defense capable of beating LSU, and LSU played nearly all of them.

Then why is LSU not in the playoffs? Where is the uproar? Penn State is supposedly better than their record indicates..THEY BEAT OSU. Are you telling me record matters?

I'm saying it's a matchup issue, not neccessarily an overall team quality issue. Some teams matchup with others better based on scheme or talent at specific positions. LSU matches up better against Penn State than Wisconsin due to Wisky's superior run defense. However, Penn State matches up better against Wisconsin than LSU does.

The more talented team does not always have the advantage against every team. Scheme matters, and so does where that talent is on said team.
