Is Penn State the best *program* of the playoff era not to make the playoff?

They've come dangerously close a few times this era. Will Franklin ever get them there?

Edit: I don't mean this team, I mean the program that has come the closest but always seem to fall short.

Penn State is mediocre at best. Memphis has like 500 yards passing on them right now in the Cotton Bowl.

I’m not sure you understand his question. Change team to program and think about it. He’s probably right.

I think you could absolutely pick 3 B1G teams in Wisky, PSU and Michigan who are in the running. PSU/Michigan would absolutely have been there by now if they didn't have OSU in their division.

Auburn maybe?

Do you mean best program?

Probably someone in the SEC West because Alabama. LSU (before this year) or Auburn.

I guess I see your point, but Penn State is garbage and Franklin is a tool bag.

Going by program it’s probably Florida, Michigan, or USC. Penn state would probably be next in line.

This penn state team is garbage. It’s a shame the media was blowing Ohio state for beating these slap dicks. Coach is overrated.

I guess I'm not clear enough. I don't mean blue bloods, but a program who has been consistently good over the past 6 years but has fallen short of the playoff.

Their 2017 team was legit. They choked at Ohio state, which cost them a playoff spot.

I mean PSU just beat a 12-1 team by 2 TDs in a big 6 game and you're talking crap about them. It's kind of hilarious.

They are the equivalent to UF and Auburn this season overall
