Somebody help me understand Penn State. I don't pay that much attention to PSU specifically; I just hear day to day and week to week "how good they are". I saw their rating before the loss to Ohio State. I heard the pre-game announcer just slobbering over the PSU QB (Aller?): "He was a 3-star when recruiting began, a 4-star when he committed to Penn State, and a 5-star by the time the smoke cleared..." (almost exactly what was said). His numbers are pedestrian at best. It reminds me of all that weird man-love for Christian Hackenberg who was anointed an NFL hall of famer before he even left PSU and his sub-60% completion percentage behind. PSU offense in general looks barely average. So where does all this hype come from? That is why I really don't want to hear anything about which teams deserve a playoff slot until after week 7 or 8. Same complaint about all the hot hype for USC. Let's just wait a while and look at a larger resume before these teams are given a golden throne in the top-10 rankings.
