The Hidden Threats That Could Derail Penn State’s Promising Start in the AP Top 25
The same thing happened last year. It was Ohio State and Oregon, but because of the expanded CFP, the Nittany Lions still went to the playoff. They beat SMU and Boise State and then folded against a Notre Dame team that matched their caliber.
Until James Franklin beats a team that is on par with his squad or better, it’s hard to pick him to lead the Penn State football team to a national championship. A great test will be early in the season when the Nittany Lions welcome Oregon to Beaver Stadium, but a win in that game won’t mean that Penn State is over the hump. The Nittany Lions have more experience and should be better than the Ducks. It’s a home game and a night white out. Franklin NEEDS to win that game. The real test will be later in the season on the road against Ohio State. If Penn State wins that game, then we can start talking about a national title.
