POLL: Will Penn State Make the First Ever 12 Team College Football Playoff?
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Yes. They will lose just once during the regular season, to OSU, and will beat Georgia in the National Championship game.1. Yes
2. No
I think it's all about the numbers; the only guaranteed spots are the five highest ranked conference champions. That leaves seven other slots. What is the lowest Penn State could finish in the B1G and still get a spot?
Yes. Trust me. I am prescient.
So, does Penn State win the B1G in this scenario?
When the playoff has 12 teams, Penn State will finish 13th. When it goes to 16 teams, Penn State will finish 17th. Franklin will engineer it this way to spite us.
Seven months from now all we will be talking about on this board is Allar's breakout season and Fleming's great catches. Allar will be a finalist for the Heisman.
Big Ten will get at least 3.
One or the other, maybe both, of the Big Ten or SEC will get 4.
Way too Early guess:
1 Non-P4
2 ACC
1 Big12
3 Big Ten
4 SEC
+1 more
If the Big Ten gets 4, PSU will be in. If 3? Best guess is no.
Here is the "You Can Write it Down"
projectionNon-P4: Notre Dame
ACC: Clemson and either FSU/Miami
B12: Whoever wins the CCG - Kansas State or Utah the early favorites.
SEC: Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and either Ole Miss, LSU, or Tennessee.
B10: Ohio State, Oregon, and either Michigan or Penn State
That leaves one spot for either a surprise mid-major, or a 4th Big Ten or 5th SEC

Will be interesting to see when FSU and Clemson are in the Big 10. Going to be very competitive for the slots in the playoffs.
I consider it a toss up. The excitement and satisfaction of seeing PSU in the mix....or continual fanboy outrage?
And yet, you didn't foresee your Christmas tree falling over
9-3 won't be good enough.
OSU 5th
Washington 11th
Oregon 3rd
Gotta win at least one of those and sweep these:
USC
UCLA
Wisconsin
West Virginia
That's a tall order.
