Bill's blog from November 9, 2008:

OK, I was one of the people who bought into the Penn State hype – JoPa’s final year – undefeated season – playing for the BCS National Championship (well, I didn’t buy that) – etc., but something called Iowa happened on the way to the celebration.

Now Penn State Paranoia is really mounting.  A loss in the final game of the season to Michigan State and the Rose Bowl is gone too.

Now here’s a question for you - Penn State fanz and college football fanz in general:  Did Penn State ever have a chance of going undefeated and playing for the National Championship?  If you read my Penn State Paranoia blog you know where I stand and now I want to hear from you.

Clearly, I don’t think Penn State or any team from the Big Ten had a chance of playing for the title…the conference just doesn’t play a tough enough schedule overall and when one of the “Big Teams” loses to Iowa, the case is weakened even further.

So much for Penn State and the Big Ten…what are your thoughts for the National title match up?
