PSU and O$U will be determined later this month so not too big of deal with them. Clemson hasn't beat anyone and wont for the rest of the year, also they havent looked that great in a few games this year.

[Kerb Hohl]

The rankings obviously don't matter much given upcoming games. Minnesota should be that low. If they can win against PSU or @Iowa or whatever, sure, they'll move up to like #8.

And I think they have an eye on the predictive rating systems. Yeah, Clemson hasn't looked great in a handful of games and may even slip up once. They'd still be roughly even-up or slight underdogs against LSU or Bama even if they choke a game away this season.

Conversely, say Minnesota somehow pulls a few games out of their ass and goes 11-1. They'd be 25 point underdogs to OSU in the B10 title game and get boat raced if they somehow were in the playoff with 2 losses or somehow went 12-1.

So as **** as it is to have "SEC/Clemson bias" I think we actually may get good playoff games than having some plucky upset team make it (which might be Wisconsin some years, though we generally grade out well enough in these things).

I can't believe Saturday has three must watch games, and none of them are late. PSU/Minnesota at 11, LSU/Bama at 2:30, and Wisconsin/Iowa at 3:30.

For some reason CBS only gets one prime time game a year and they chose Notre Dame/Georgia.

Also, the B10 as a rule essentially does not play night games in November due to weather concerns. They do sporadically and it requires some sort of waiver.

As for ND/Georgia, that seemed like a pretty big game at the time and they got to put Notre Dame on their network to boot.

Was shocked (and sad) when I saw LSU/Bama was not a night game. I’ll be at the UW game so I’m going to miss that huge matchup, ugh.

[Mags FTW]

Even though I think PSU is overrated, today we may see the B10 West torch being passed to Minny for awhile if they beat them. Although I can see them following it up with a letdown loss at Iowa next week.

The next 4 weeks will have some longer term effects when it comes to UW, Minny, and Iowa recruiting the kids who get snubbed by OSU, Michigan, and PSU.

Lol...yeah, the ax is staying in Minnesota.

[MikeIsGood]

Both teams look completely allergic to defense thus far.

MN is good but I don’t think the Badgers are going to go away as much as you do.

MN has a good offense, of course PSU does.

Where I assumed the difference would be made is more talent on Penn State’s defense. Their secondary is...playing very poorly.

[MickeyDavis]

Despite being 8-0 this is their first sellout in years in their small stadium?

Wow the Gophers

And they were literally giving away tickets for Veteran's Day too.

Like the Badgers, they have 3 talented receivers, except they actually use theirs.

Why no yellow first down marker ABC?

Corner fade on 4th and goal, stupid

[Mags FTW]

I don't suppose this is setting up for a repeat of the epic punt block TD collapse?
