You're right, I accidentally looked at the Coaches Poll where Wisconsin is in 5th and thought it was the rankings. This could be really interesting to see the fallout if Michigan gets in over the conference champ.

You may be right, but how does Michigan, w/two losses in their last three games not drop further? Any other team would've fallen, especially w/a loss to Iowa and negative momentum late in the season. Late season losses are supposed to punish a team more than early ones. Let's just hope the top 4 win. There is some incest here, with the former Big Ten being over represented in the top 10.

Here's the funny thing about statements like this: you are trashing the majority of Sandusky's victims themselves with this kind of talk. Sandusky committed his crimes in the local community. His victims include family members of PSU employees. Plenty of his victims went on to attend PSU themselves. Those who didn't are mostly local people who maintain some connection to the university.
So your statement isn't made out of compassion for Sandusky's victims. They are included in the group that you say has "some sort of mental problems." Rather, it would seem that you are just mad and lashing out aimlessly.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Them doing so makes them weak and stupid. They went to PSU because they got it for free, it makes then enablers. They sicken me too.
Michigan lost close at iowa without their qb. Iowa is a VERY tough place to play on the road and they are red hot right now. Then they lost a controversial OT game to the #2 team in the country on the road. Outside of that they have wins over 3 top 10 teams including a 40 point win over PSU. Not your average two loss team.
The best part will be the post game showers after my boys win. Ooh la la.

Lmao, let's hear what an actual Sandusky victim has to say.
Matt Sandusky, CSA victim and former adopted son of Jerry Sandusky:
"Nor do I believe that 'the culture of football' was to blame. I believe it was Jerry Sandusky's grooming of...the community into believing he was a saint who was incapable of doing anything harmful to children that caused all of the blindness.
"If we lay the responsibility on football and the desire to protect that program, then we take the focus away from the reality that sexual predators do not stand out to the people around them. Offenders, in fact sometimes seem like godsends, like heroes."
- from Pg. 11 of 'Undaunted: Breaking My Silence to Overcome the Trauma of Child Sexual Abuse"
Full stop
And are you that much of a simpleton? That anyone who doesn't adhere to The Narrative, and the victims who outright contradict it with their actions or statements, are "weak and stupid"?
You clearly care a lot about the victims and preventing future CSA cases. Thanks for your help.

You guys are making false statements. THIS IS NOT THE BCS. THE RANKINGS ARE NOT "WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR." THE RANKINGS ARE WHO THE COMMITTEE BELIEVES ARE THE BEST TEAMS.
The only way wisconsin or penn state jump michigan(who beat them) is by one blowing the other one out and making the committee think they are a better team, like ohio state did two years ago. Otherwise, there will be no bonus points for penn state or wisco winning the game(outside of the rose bowl berth).
The committee has stated that there is a significant gap between the top 5 and the rest.
You are wrong you dumb MF. A committee spokesman said two weeks ago they rank based upon what has happened up to the present, because that is all there is to go on. Fact is PSU or Wisconsin will be adding a win against a top 7 opponent to their resume and a conference championship. A conference that is the best conference in the country and one that contains OSU and UM. That is MAJOR brownie points that will bump the winner over UM.
I'd say Wisconsin and Penn State are screwed. No way they are going over Michigan with a victory, unless it's a total blowout. I'm disappointed. Michigan has lost 2 of its last 3. Not the way to end a season.

Didn't Penn St already beat OSU? And Wisconsin had OSU on the ropes? and OSU is ranked ahead of Michigan?
Too bad FB isn't like CC and it could all be settled with one quality event and the end of the season...ahhhh the beauty of CROSS!
No dude he's right and you are wrong. We"ll see that Sunday.

Sounds like some kind of sick pedo Stockholm syndrome is still going on there. Same as it was when Joepa did what he did to those kids.

Yeah Joepa actually raped Sandusky repeatedly. This started the predatory culture there. Many students there were aware of these evil things but loved football more. Sad
No, they will not. They have 2 losses. Yes, i know they beat Ohio State. But they lost 2 games. Yes, I know they are going to the Big 10 championship, and might win that. But, they lost 2 games.
Also, it doesn't help that Ohio State beat Michigan and Michigan destroyed PSU.
No team that loses big or has 2 losses will be in the final four.
Sorry. Mark my words.

I hope you are right and that PSU does sneak in as the 4 seed. They would then meet 1 seed Alabama in the national semifinals. Score of that one should be about 45-3, and I would enjoy that immensely. I will never forgive PSU for their mishandling of the Sandusky affair, to say nothing of the blind reverence so many Penn Staters have for Joe Pa, who is not and will not be considered so fondly by those more than about 50 miles from "Happy Valley". He made a decision to protect "the brand" rather than do the right thing.
Joe Pa, is /was guilty. He knew and did nothing. Little boys were getting raped from a grown man and he went about his business like nothing.
PSU is a disgraceful, sorry-a$$ excuse for an university.
Plus, they lost to an un-ranked Pitt, lost by a huge margin to Michigan. And, although they beat Ohio State, Ohio state played a schedule 3x tougher than PSU and went on to only lose once.
To sum it up; PSU will not get in with 2 losses and a loss to an un-ranked team and strength of schedule that's pretty weak compared to the other top contenders for the final 4 spots.

If Washington or Clemson lose, then we will 100% have a two loss team, but I agree with everything else you said. PSU or Wisconsin need to win by 50+ OR have BOTH Washington and Clemson lose. Neither will get in over Michigan otherwise.

I wouldn't be surprised. Joepa Could have started with Jerry then worked his way down to the kids.
