TomCollins,

We should have, but I don't know if it would have been enough. I would be 10,000x more bitter if we were 11-0 and got shafted.

Noggin,

You are so correct. We had the best homefield advantage in the country this year.

Anyone know how this works? Must they choose the ACC AND Big East champs? Or do they get only one?

Both conferences are tied to the Orange Bowl. The Bowl gets to choose which one of the two the prefer.

I'd see Texas as a 5-6 pt. favorite over PSU, and USC laying maybe 8. Both would be interesting games though.

the fact that penn st fans see themselves as being about a TD underdog to USC or Texas makes me even more confident that Penn St would be a large underdog to both.

I was surprised to read somewhere that Vegas would have OSU as a favorite over any team except USC and only a 3 point dog there.

Anyway, Texas and USC aren't *that* much better than everyone else.

Everyone discussing PSU,

I wish PSU could get a crack at Texas or USC so that I won't have to spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been. I will never stop wondering what if we had beaten Michigan, or what if Fresno State didn't turn it over eighteen times and had beaten USC.

Even if we lost, it would be fun to have that chance.
