Actually, this is one of PSU's easier schedules Granted, up to this point. **Unfortunately** for PSU (and your prediction), you forgot to mention that they'll have to play 11-0 or 10-1 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl for the national championship and then it's bye-bye PSU. Incidentally, if Oklahoma actually does go 11-1 including bowl game then I don't believe they can be denied the mythical title with the schedule they're playing (Nebraska, Oklahoma State, SMU, Texas, and Miami, among others). >PS: I would love to see Penn State, or for that matter, any > team from the following, play BYU: > 1) Nebraska > 2) Auburn > 3) Iowa > 4) Maryland > 5) UCLA "please, can I see it one more time?????" > 6) Ohio State And I'd love to see Penn State play any of these teams, too! Tough schedules, indeed! :-) Dennis Doubleday Univ. of Maryland (but a displaced Boomer Sooner)
