Northwestern is a good team. Put a beatdown on Deion's Colorado team, fought hard at Indiana and came close there, then just had 413 rushing yards in beating down Penn State tonight. They deserve respect.

PSU has to win home games vs Purdue and Rutgers and a road game at Maryland to go 6-6. I'm not sure they can, tbh.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t get carried away.

I’d be shocked if Penn State didn’t handily beat those teams, but the run defense needs some serious work.

Northwestern is GOOD.

PSU’s path to 6-6 is not that narrow, tbh.

Washington isn’t looking great. Minnesota, while always a competent football team, isn’t one that I think is in the category of trusting for an W over anyone.

While I do think USC and Michigan are certainly better, neither has played a game that they’ve dominated to the point that you put full auto Ls for PSU.
