4 of PSU's preseason -4.5 odds vs. OBD are likely based on home field advantage.

 

Last season, OBD was 4-0 on the road vs. the B1G, 1-0 at the neutral site champ game vs. PSU. 

 

PSU is 12-8 in White Out games. PSU defeated UW in a White Out last season, but would have lost the WO if the WO game they wanted vs' TOSU wasn't benched by Fox.

 

James Franklin is 1-18 vs. top 5 teams. His only win came against Ohio State in 2016. He's 3-17 vs. the top 10. 

 

Plus, he's never had to play a WO game with Forum Fanatics in attendance! 🤪

Pro Football Focus unveiled its definitive list of the Top 10 head coaches in college football ahead of the 2025 regular season.

"He's gonna have to win this year," Klatt said of Riley. "You can't go 7-5 again. You just can't."

But...

"You look at last year . . . they showed they're capable." Klatt said. "Those close losses could turn into close wins this year. And if they do, they could be a team making their very first playoff appearance."

They actually can go 7-5 this season. A lot of "could's" there.

Day at No.2? He's lost to Michigan 4 times in a row, got past Oregon thanks to Kelly's work at OC, and got the Natty with a lot of help from the format. I'd have Dabo at No.2 Lanning No.3, I'll give Day No.4 over Freeman. Cignetti? Probably somewhere around 50.

Ohio State-Oregon is the hottest recruiting rivalry in the Big Ten

In college football, rivalries between top programs often extend beyond the field and into recruiting. These intense battles for top prospects directly influence the direction of programs and shape future conference standings. This week Rivals is exploring the hottest recruiting rivalries in major college football. Today we look at the Big Ten.

Offense or Defense? If the offense can run and control the ball more then I say the Offense will lead. If Bear Alexander and Matayo Uiagalelei can create HAVOC and cause more 3 and outs, then the Defense will lead. I would like to see both groups be successful.
