Every Thorn Has Its Rose
Manage episode 376066033 series 3508396
The imperfect team got just about as perfect an ending as it could have wanted.
Penn State is off to the Rose Bowl. Even though it got dropped in the rankings by the College Football Playoff committee. Even though it finished third in the Big Ten. Even though it has yet to beat a ranked team this season.
Does any of that matter? Penn Stated host Donnie Collins discusses that and a host of other issues surrounding the Nittany Lions on this week's episode, including:
- The opening of the transfer portal this week. What position should Penn State be looking hard to fill with a transfer, even though there's practically no chance it will be able to do it?
- LaVar Arrington's induction to the College Football Hall of Fame.
- Where the Nittany Lions stood in comparison to Ohio State when it came to their respective performances against Big Ten champion Michigan.
Scranton Times-Tribune colleague and NEPA's resident Michigan Man, Joe Baress, joins Donnie to discuss Michigan's road to the Big Ten title and the CFP's inclusion of Ohio State, giving the Big Ten two teams in the four-team championship field for the first time ever.
Donnie also offers his annual look at the top five bowl games to check out, outside of the CFP and the Rose Bowl, of course.
