Ok...one last comment...lol. The weather...OSU players LIVE DAILY in the cold weather. You acclimate to it. So do Penn State's players. Tennessee and SMU do not. It does make a difference.
In Indiana pretty much the whole north half of the state are ND football fans but cheer for IU basketball. There some pockets that are exceptions but for the most part it holds true.
For what it is worth, we would have LOVED to see Alabama come north to Central Pennsylvania in late December. The men of the north are just tougher.....fact.
PSU wasnt as "juiced up" as they would have been against a bigger opponent. 15-20mph winds didn't help offenses. You cant speak in hypotheticals. Sometimes you play ok and win anyway. Watch PSU amp it up this weekend.
As far as IU goes. I think there were a few teams who I think are better than IU that would likely have performed better. With that said those teams lost multiple games to mediocre teams and so didn't deserve to be in the playoff. I just wish IU would have played a better schedule to solidify their station in CFB.
Big fan of southern teams traveling to play in weather. Smu didn’t know what planet they were on. Overall cool to see and good wins by psu and osu.

Oregon needs to come out with a winged helmet vs osu. 😂😂 i mean it's Oregon so I wouldn't be shocked if they had one.
