I get Vegas’ reasoning, I expect nothing less.

What I don’t get is neutral fans who seemingly hope they lose. Everyone complains about all the “blue bloods” and the same ole, same ole every year. Here we are with a fresh and exciting team, rabid fan base (home crowd looked awesome for Penn State), and one of the best young coaches having a banner year. They could disrupt that whole system. Why on earth would people not want these guys to win out and beat Ohio State for the B1G championship? Give us some new blood in the postseason.

I’m not saying they will, but they’re easy to root for imo. Seems like people just like to hate no matter what. Must be a miserable life to not just enjoy a sport you love.

This is what I don't understand. Aren't we tired of seeing white and varying shades of red in the playoff? Throw in some Gold (Minnesota), Green (Baylor), and Purple (LSU).

I'm sick of UGA, Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Oklahoma running the show, especially when they don't win their own division (Alabama).

rabid fan base

Let's slow the roll a bit. They're rabid in the same way Rays fans are when they reach the ALCS.

ETA: They averaged under 38k last year, which includes a healthy dose of visiting fans. Not what I would call a rabid fanbase.
