I'm disappointed in Michigan. I thought they were better than this. Something about a 5th-ranked defense and how Penn State had only played one top 30 defense in Iowa. Well, that's the thing with college football rankings: They don't mean dick. There's such a disparity in talent between the Power 5 and the Group of 5 and the FCS schools, when you've six weeks in and half your schedule is playing against dogshit non-conference teams, your yards against and other stats are going to be inflated. When all is said and done, I'm not quite sure what this win means for Penn State. Michigan is the first ranked opponent of the year, but after this ass-beating, I don't think they deserve to be ranked. They have to go on the road to Wisconsin and host Ohio State. Mark those up as two more Ls and well, Michigan just wasn't very good this year.
Probably the highlight of this game was the Michigan kicker missing an extra point:

In case you're wondering why he's wearing Penn State gear but kicking for Michigan, Harbaugh fucking slept over at his house and flipped him to Michigan. Ha - fuck that guy. This video will haunt him for the rest of his life. I hope he made the right decision by attending Michigan and that he lands his dream job at Domino's Pizza HQ in Ann Arbor.
Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley continued his assault on the Heisman Trophy campaign.
Now let's talk about next week. Penn State at Ohio State is going to determine the Big Ten champ. If Penn State wins, the only hurdle left is a resurgent Michigan State team, then its smooth sailing from there. If Ohio State wins, the same Spartans are the toughest test left for them (sorry Michigan). Why is this game so crucial? Neither team has a loss in the Big Ten. The loser of this game would need the winner to lose TWO times in the final weeks of the season just to win the division, and given the schedules, that's just not very likely. Wisconsin will likely be the undefeated Big Ten West champ, but like the 2015 Iowa squad that went 12-0, I think they're inferior to whoever emerges out of the East.
Despite Penn State's No.2 ranking (remember what I said about rankings meaning dick?), Ohio State will be favored, and rightfully so. Columbus is a tough place to play, and Penn State has not had a good history there. However, Ohio State much like Penn State is still a bit of a mystery. Their strongest opponent, Oklahoma, beat the shit out of them in Columbus, and the other games saw them roll over shitty Big Ten teams like Rutgers, Maryland, and Nebraska. How good is Ohio State?
Gonna be fun waiting all week for this one. Last year, Ohio State was No.2 visiting Penn State. We all know how that story ended.
