Penn State has been ROBBED in what I believe to be the biggest American sports tragedy of all-time. Shameful precedent set by committee.

And he got nailed for it, too - and should have.

The biggest American sports tragedy of all-time is (take your pick): Ray Mancini killing Duk Koo Kim (he was American but it wasn't here), the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Bombing (not technically sports), or all those spectators killed/burned at the beginning of the 1973 Indy 500.

When's the last time we lost to a team based on the deep ball? South Carolina 2010? If you can't sustain drives, if you can't run the ball, you won't beat us with the deep ball.
Didn't Wallace for Ole Miss get use with one long pass in 2014? Bama gave up a couple of long passes to Missouri in the SEC champ game that didn't results in scores. All in all, we haven't given up multiple long passes for TDs to an opponent.

I think the huskies could be a bigger challenge than many think. Petersen is a great coach and had an incredible record at Boise. His players may not be big but they play extremely hard and always seem to overachieve. I suggest everybody go watch the 2007 fiesta bowl on you tube.

I think the committee got it correct too. Any team that loses by 39 points does not deserve to be in the playoff. Also, I hope Penn State gets looked over in every college football playoff. They are the only team I would actually hope auburn or Tennessee would beat.

Very true. Peterson's teams are always sound fundamentally and his trenches are strong. This will be a dogfight through the last sound of the whistle.

Don't know if it qualifies as a sports tragedy but the A&M bonfire was about the worst thing i recollect surrounding sports that I can pull from my retrievable memory.

This isn't even the biggest sports tragedy related to Penn State. I think Joe Paterno and the Penn State administration failing children who were sexually assaulted by a football staff member by not notifying law enforcement for 35 years takes that cake.
