Can’t remember last time we were this high in the AP.

And OSU at Oregon next week. So if we take care of business we can go to 3.

 

[Lionville]

BIG with 3 of top 4 in the AP…. For this week.
PSU #5 in coaches poll.

 

[Midnighter]

Didn’t take long for NIL and the portal to even the playing field. USC still a threat IMO but no reason we can’t take care of them. Will be interesting to see how they respond.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Our OL and DL better bring it at SC. If we go in there with the same mindset as we did against Illinois we should walk away with a win. There's not a team on our schedule that we can bully up front.

If we get out of SC with a win, you gotta feel good about our chances the rest of the way.

SC losing and dropping out of the top 25 hurts PS. They have nothing to lose and even if we beat them, it’ll be viewed as another win over an unranked opponent

by fans also lol, many of the ones who have been saying stuff like "we could be in trouble against USC"

Doesn’t hurt if we take care of business. Just win.

I do not think USC not being as good as expected really hurts PSU.
Losing a game to any team remaining on the schedule outside of O$U is the only thing that will keep PSU out of the playoffs. Which was the case with a ranked USC.

 

[BobPSU92]

We’re screwed.

Can’t remember last time we were this high in the AP.

3 years ago when we were beating Iowa 17-3 before Clifford & Mustipher got hurt.

Most of the starters on teams pulling the upsets were recruited before NIL.

 

[bdgan]

We’re screwed.

This is one of the few times I don't want to get screwed.

 

[BobPSU92]

So, now that We Are!…Ranked 4th!, are we 57-point underdogs to usc?

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

We’re screwed.

On a Sunday?? Never happen!

Not gonna bully Ohio State

 

[PrtLng Lion]

I can say objectively I don't think we look like the 4th "best" team in the country, but just win, baby. And make the playoffs... then anything can happen.

 

[LionsAndBears]

I think this OL can bully OSU too. I'm not saying they will but that they can. Our OL is the best we've had in a long time.

I didn't think they were as dominant yesterday as they were vs. Illinois. Ohio State is robust. To have a chance PSU will need to be able to stretch the field.

What goes up....

 

[Midnighter]

Most of the starters on teams pulling the upsets were recruited before NIL.

But teams they beat lost players to NIL and the portal. So, square.

So Texas, tOSU and who?

They had that 4 td favorite Rat Poison like they did against Bowling Green.

Depends on if singleton plays, 65 if he doesn’t

It's interesting that we're 4.5 pt favorites but ESPN only gives us a 48.4% chance to win.

Our OL only got us 85 yds rushing vs UCLA

Can’t remember last time we were this high in the AP.

I think PSU was #4 in 2021 - 5- 0 and then played out in Iowa when Clifford got hurt. Things unraveled from there.
