What a joke of a non conference schedule and the Big 10 sucks.

If they won out and went 10-2 with wins over Ohio State and Indiana they would still get in. But they aren't beating Ohio State and won't make it as a 9-3 team

I agree but I don’t think it will. If they lose today and then drop one of the Indiana or Ohio State games, then I think they would 100% be out.

Assuming they hold on, this might legitimately be UCLA’s only win.

IF they beat Ohio St. AND Indiana they’re a better candidate than Notre Dame. Which the media will never stop talking about.

At a minimum they should stop talking about their consideration until they beat Ohio st.

The heat on Franklin is about to unreal and I’m here for it

Would not be shocked to see Franklin pull a Kelly and jump to a job like Florida in a mutual separation

If OSU and IU are losing to PSU they are probably losing somewhere else too so even then idk.

Or they’ll drop to 9th if they get treated the same as they have been

A 10-2 Penn State will not be left at home - regardless of how that actually plays out

I don’t really care who they beat. UCLA fired just about their entire staff, has had transfer exits, and a program that is in complete chaos.

Penn state absolutely should be held out of the playoffs getting their arse beat by maybe the worst P4 program in the country.

Penn State was overrated from the getgo, like they are every season. They didn't even prepare for UCLA

So Franklin will go from a league where he has maybe 2 big games a year that he can't win to a league where that number increases to about 6?

I can see:

Franking convincing himself he will be able to recruit the talent he needs at Florida which he cannot get at Penn State (False, but I can see him thinking that).

Penn State thinking Franklin will never get over the hump and letting him walk.

Florida selling it as hiring a coach with a a semi-finals appearance and can turn around their program.

Exact same situation as Kelly, ND, and LSU
