And what happened the next year after this mythical championship? The cheating was found, and conference and NCAA penalties ensued. Had it been the BCS or Playoff era, the "half-championship" would have been taken away. But polls are not changed years later. What kind of low-life would continue to celebrate a championship where it was not alleged, but proven cheating? I will! I will! I will! I will!

And lose the CANNON FODDER?

Yep, for the Semis, we would probably play Texas in the Cotton Bowl, in Dallas... And play Georgia in Atlanta.

Those of us who are NOT noble would probably enjoy it!

Hey Penn State!

A great read, as always Jordan. I think Coach Lanning said it well in post-game interviews, when he stated that there have been games where the defense saved the day, while this time it was the offense that bailed out the other side of the ball. I have a new-found respect for Penn State, as I never would have guessed they would run through us as well as they did. I was also impressed with Penn State's team speed on defense, as they have an elite group of athletes that deserve to be in the Top-5 of the nation. While the team now knows what they must work on, the good news is that they have three weeks to do so!

Dan Lanning said it best a couple of times in post game interviews, in that there are games where the defense bails them out, but this game, the offense bailed out the defense. Penn State played their best game of the entire year, and all of the analysts stated that. We got their best shot, and beat them. The ‘Lions are pretty darn good, and instead of tearing down our team for weaknesses, we should be giving credit to Penn State for their strengths.
