I know this has somewhat been discussed previously, but how do you guys think we should feel about Penn St's remaining games, and should we be pulling for them? They get OSU at home tonight, followed by a trip to Purdue, home vs Michigan, and of course at Nebraska to finish.
My thoughts: The idea of having Penn St win 2 of their next 3, and then picking up a win against them to wrap up the year would be great. But if we would happen to lose to PSU (very possible), I'd hate to then be in a neck and neck battle for a bubble spot with a team that swept us in the season series, and who picked up several big wins to finish the regular season.
I'd definitely like for them to lose to Michigan so that our Michigan win can look as good as possible.
Obviously "just win out" is our best bet, as we should control our destiny in that scenario. Still, it's fun to think about how the other games affect us and know who you should be rooting for when watching games like OSU vs PSU tonight
