This looks like an 11-1 season, and 12-0 is not out of the question. If Michigan is average this season, could we see a rematch with Ohio state in the B1G Championship? 👀
@@bobbydenezza7795 You realize Oregon is NOT on the schedule? Washington gutted? UCLA coaching change? USC is formidable especially with it being a road game, but they’re replacing that “generational QB.” Outside of USC, Ohio State. Where are the other two losses coming from? At Wisconsin? At WVU? Keep in mind you specifically mentioned the west coast teams that were added.
@user-ld8sy4wd6p 4 losses to Ohio st, USC, Wisconsin and Washington. Penn st is 0-4 vs USC in the state of California, Washington will reload. They played in the national championship game last year, Wisconsin may have the best offense in the west, and Ohio st is just loaded top to bottom. West Virginia might be a loss if they come out unprepared.
@@bobbydenezza7795 First, there are no divisions. Penn State will not play Michigan, nor Oregon. Washington is not going to reload, plus it’s at Beaver Stadium. Since you mentioned Wisconsin in the west, which doesn’t exist anymore, that’s not saying much. Penn State’s defense will be loaded. Even on the road, they’ll shut it down. USC is still replacing its QB and still has no signs of life on defense. 4 losses is way more unlikely than 2 losses.
@user-ld8sy4wd6p USC has penn states number like Ohio state does. They always reload with another qb and they always have big tall lengthy WRs that give penn states secondary problems dating back to the Rose Bowl in 2009 and that was also the case in 2017 Rose bowl as well. Penn states secondary is going to be weak this year and i see USC and Ohio st carving them up. Simply put, penn st is losing a lot of starter production in 2024. Ten starters from 2023 are headed to the NFL Draft, four on offense and six on defense (not including nickelback Daequan Hardy). A handful of reserve contributors have entered the transfer portal or declared for the draft, too. Oh and lets not forget the overrated fraud head coach up there who talks a better game than he coaches.
This schedule sets up well for PS. Avoids Oregon and Michigan and other than OSU (home game) the schedule is very favorable. This team will be a strong contender for the playoffs.
I’m ok with the odd bye weeks before the weaker opponents. Penn State has often played poorly after a bye week. So having one before a visit to Wisconsin, which is also right before Ohio State, is a bit scary.
Tough 4 game stretch for Penn State in the middle of the season with USC and Wisconsin away from Happy Valley and then host UCLA, Ohio State and Washington at home... trap game at West Virginia in the return game in Morgantown... The bye weeks are interesting spots on the schedule...no Oregon or Michigan on the schedule... Wins: Bowling Green, Kent State, Illinois, Purdue.. Games they will be favored by Double Digits: UCLA, Washington, Minnesota, Maryland... 50/50 games: West Virginia, USC, Wisconsin, Ohio State... Penn State is between 9-3 and 10-2 this season...
The early bye week isnt terrible. They should not have to study that kent state game its like a bye week. They should get 2 weeks to prep for illinois. Which could be a tough game. So not too bad.
Should be a one loss season. I expect the loss to Ohio State but dropping losses to teams like West Virginia or Wisconsin would both be majorly disappointing. I don’t think Washington or USC are as big of a threat as those two teams.
You are underestimating USC. They will be 9-3 at worst next year with a tough schedule. They could definitely beat PSU in The Colosseum. I could see Penn State going 10-2 again with losses against USC and Ohio State.
USC has a top 10 hardest schedule in the country and they haven’t recruited well enough to stay with us. Along with a complete rebuild of their defense. All these factors point to a Penn State win. I think Wisconsin is the team to be much more worried about.
@@CFBPSU Wisconsin seems to always play Penn State tough. PSU has a 5 game winning streak vs them but all 5 games were close and tough, I think Fickell will up the level of talent at Wisconsin every year in my opinion he's a better recruiter than Chryst was.Wisconsin got 11 4 stars in recruiting last cycle in his first full recruiting cycle if Wisconsin can recruit like that it'll help if they can stack it every year.
The only “for sure” loss you can sell me on is OSU. Penn State is likely going to be favored in every game outside of that one. Penn State as a favorite is VERY good. It’s ludicrous to include Washington on your list. They’ve been hollowed out. USC could be a toss- up game, but by no means is that a sure loss.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You kidding. There's like 4 losses on this schedule with these west coast teams coming in

USC defense versus Big 10 offenses is going to be fun to watch.
Penn state gonna have another good year
Toughest games = @USC, @Wisconsin & OSU (& Washington). ROUGH 4 game stretch.
This schedule sets up well for PS. Avoids Oregon and Michigan and other than OSU (home game) the schedule is very favorable. This team will be a strong contender for the playoffs.
Saturday Noon game on Fox from Morgantown. This PSU v WVU matchup is BIG's projected second BEST game of the weekend after USC v LSU on Sunday.
Penn St. success in Morgantown relies entirely on how conservative Neil Brown is going to call the game for WVU.

UCLA USC WISCONSIN OHIO STATE WASHINGTON - - - that has to be one of, if not the most brutal 5 game stretches of the college football season
I like this assessment. Have to get my head out of the Penn State football media sometimes. They come from such a place of scarcity all the time
Marlyland needs to start playing and winning like Alabama or Penn State does and even Georgia!!!
LOL
?
You equate PSU with the Tide and Dawgs. Too funny.
Weird, that everyone has 2 bye weeks now? Strange
Green: Bowling Green, Kent State, Illinois, UCLA, Purdue, Minnesota
Blue: Washington, Maryland
Purple: West Virginia, USC, Wisconsin
White: Ohio State
The 50:50 games for Penn State in my opinion are Wisconsin and Ohio State.
9-3

Surprised everyone assumes Ohio State will win.

No Michigan or Oregon is a huge W. 11-1 with a close loss to Ohio State
You are underestimating USC. They will be 9-3 at worst next year with a tough schedule. They could definitely beat PSU in The Colosseum. I could see Penn State going 10-2 again with losses against USC and Ohio State.
Maybe. USC also loves to not live up to expectations tho

Psu 9-3 😊
James Franklin will always find a way to lose the biggest games.
Anen !
PSU plays any top 10 opponent..loss..so OSU..USC..WASH are sure losses with Franklin as HC....9-3.
The only “for sure” loss you can sell me on is OSU. Penn State is likely going to be favored in every game outside of that one. Penn State as a favorite is VERY good. It’s ludicrous to include Washington on your list. They’ve been hollowed out. USC could be a toss- up game, but by no means is that a sure loss.
Penn State will be either 10-2 or 11-1.
9 to 10 wins. Need to see if penn st passing game improves really. D probably tahe a step back too
8-4
10'2, 9-3. 6-6 in bowl games. Shame on Franklin
9-3
9-3
