Yes to Penn St & no to conference title games....

I've been asked if I am keeping Penn St in the running to be a playoff team with all that has gone down & the answer is yes.  It's not fair to punish the players for the alleged actions of somebody else.  The other question was about the conferences that have title games.  I don't count those, don't believe in them.  In my world you'd play everybody in your conference once and the last team standing was your champion.  I wouldn't have conferences with more than 10 teams either if I ran the world.  Give you three non conference games and then onto the regular season & everybody would play 12 games.  I know, it's a fantasy world that the conference dictators and ESPN would never go for because the world isn't black & white, it's green with dead presidents on it.  But it's my blog and it's free to dream. 

Here is how this weeks standings look with two new teams in and two out & Robert Wuhl is living the dream with his Cougars #2 which would face off against my Wisconsin Badgers in round 1 of the playoffs!  1 & done for one of us Robert, but there are a couple weeks left so we'll see who winds up where!

1) LSU 10-0  107pa  lw #1
2) Houston 10-0  228pa  lw #3
3) Oklahoma St 10-0  263pa  lw #4
4) Virginia Tech 10-1  186pa  lw #8
5) Alabama 9-1  71pa  lw #6
6) Stanford 9-1  202pa  lw #2
7) Arkansas 9-1  215pa  lw #12
8) Oregon 9-1  217pa  lw #11
9) Clemson 9-1  259pa  lw #13
10) Boise St 8-1  170pa  lw #5
11) Oklahoma 8-1  178pa  lw #10
12) Southern Miss 9-2  239pa  lw #9
13) Penn St 8-2  129pa  lw #7
14) Michigan 8-2  155pa  lw #16
15) Wisconsin 8-2  158pa  lw #NR
16) Michigan St 8-2  165pa  lw #NR

Out--Louisiana Lafayette & Cincinnati

Just missed--Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas St, Nebraska, TCU. 

Last four are from the Big Ten I noticed.  Some interesting matchups if the playoffs would start this week, but like I said earlier we've got two weeks to go.  I'm thinking Michigan St would give LSU a pretty good fight. 

Questions, comments, or concerns?  Let me know & thanks for taking time out to read this.
