And we all know what a powerhouse BC is this year! :-) At 27-25, your 
guys really *mauled* Temple! :-)

I can't argue with your logic here.

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).

And I'd love to see Penn State play any of these teams, too! Tough schedules,
indeed! :-)
