Penn State 2026 slate is a Group of 5 Schedule

Marshall, Temple, Buffalo - non conference
Big games: at Michigan, at Washington, and USC at home
Purdue, Maryland, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Northwestern round it out.
That should be a very attractive job.
Convince me the B1G is better than the SEC. Boise State probably plays a more challenging schedule than these cats.

ULM plays a tougher schedule.

quote:8 of the current 16 SEC teams have a national title since the start of the BCS era (Tennessee, Oklahoma, LSU, Texas, Florida, Bama, Auburn, Georgia). Compare that to just 3 out of 18 current B1G teams (USC, Ohio State, Michigan)
Convince me the B1G is better than the SEC.
B1G is watered down with probably 10 teams that would be on par with Kentucky and Mississippi State most years.

Penn State had a couple of undefeated teams in the late sixties/early seventies who didn't win titles because their schedules were perceived as weak.
Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Lehigh, Army, etc, etc.

The Top Big 10 teams are better than anyone in the SEC (OSU, India, Oregon)
However the SEC has a bunch of solid teams just none really on that level.

But how many of their players will they retain? Feels like the whole roster completely turns over when a coach leaves now.

The top ranked team in the SEC last week had a dogfight with Washington state, who lost by 49 points to ….. NORTH TEXAS. The SEC hasn’t even had a team qualify to play for a national title the last two seasons.
Yet here we are in the circle jerk with bros remembering all the BCS titles SEC teams won.

This unbalanced scheduling is insane.
Badgers conference schedule this year includes Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, Washington, and Illinois. When do we get the cakewalk schedule like Indiana has gotten the last two years?

So fricking sad to see Luke Fickell putting us in this part conversation

The Big 10 schedule makers seem to make a point of making sure their handful of good teams play as little as possible in the regular season. That’s a 3 team schedule for PSU.

The B1G needs to create an "upper league" and a "lower league".
Make sure the big boys all play each other.
And then let the little kids play in their own little table.
Further, it can be adjusted every year.
Bottom teams in the upper get dropped, top teams in the lower get bumped up.
I'd think an upper league of tOSU, Michigan, USC, Oregon, Indiana, Penn State, Iowa, Nebraska, and Washington all playing a round robin would be great football.
Its too much a crap shoot now, when your team gets to play 6,7 of the weaker teams in the conference

This is a reason why mega conferences suck.

A big downside of conference expansion is that it's possible to build a full a conference schedule and avoid the good teams in your league.
By luck of the draw a few teams in these jumbo conferences are going to have schedules that consistent of 8-9 bottom feeders of their respective conference.
We've seen it in the SEC too. Big conferences lead to wildly uneven schedules, compare Texas and Ole Miss vs Florid and Alabama for example.

All of that is true and it has absolutely nothing to do with who the best team
Is in a given year.

Gtfo with acting like the past two years tells the playoff story or that the B10 is some playoff dynasty. The previous 8 years of the playoffs the SEC was represented in the national championship, winning 6 of them. And the two times they didn't win in that span, it was an ACC team that won.
