Thanks. There's some great history out there. Next year they have a good shot to be on top again, and it probably won't be due to the easiest path to the CFP in history like this year. No way we beat Ohio, but reasonable odds of beating ND and meeting Ohio for a rematch (uh oh, haha). ND will be a tough game. Will be a heck of a game plan if the CFP ends up being close when we have limited production at WR.
Did any if you watch the game? Both sides were basically even throughout the entire game, the difference was the bad qb play from SMU giving Penn State 21 points off turnovers. You take away that the game comes down to the wire.
They need to take into account strength of schedule and who you lost to and how. Alabama has a far better resume than SMU and Indiana but they also have WAYYYY worse losses with Oklahoma and Vanderbilt
All the people complaining. It’s college football these kids can’t help their record was better than some of your favorite schools. I’m a fan of football so I like all teams and don’t care who got in the playoffs.

That's a special level of "incompetence" by that Penn QB with the shown second Play.... not throwing to his open guy right in front of him for an easy First down, instead losing progress.
He’s 20. Still young. Lots of potential but needs good development and to rewatch his tape and learn. He’s obviously not going to be as good as a decision maker as someone like Dillon Gabriel who is NFL aged.
Yeah your sos argument really doesnt work on that program. Either your dumb af and you think BSU doesnt schedule hard OOC or your a hypocritical a$$hole who penalizes BSU for being in the G5 while simultaneously rejecting BSU from playing in the P5.
All the folks crying about how the committee messed up. Win enough games in the regular season and you'll be in, plain and simple. Dont leave it up to the selection committee. If you lose 3 games in the regular season, it is absolutely up for debate.
I’m a Buckeyes fan. I gotta give my dues to the deserving. Like the legendary Alabama’s Nick Saban! IMHO, I don’t think there is anything like the Penn State White-Out! I’m watching it again 2 weeks later! I think Penn State will be in to the Semis! Maybe even 2025 Finalist!

1st round playoff blowouts happen. That's kind of the point of a seeded playoff (heck, even title game blowouts still happen). SMU earned a spot and Penn State was the better team.

Never thought of see the day a whole other team would come "white out" uni's at Penn St.. Penn State's defense seemed to have taken that quite personally.
@WheelhouseMike they played NOBODY , soon as Indiana had to play ohio state week 10 they got killed Then again in the second real team they played , killed! Last night in note dame. We can hide behind 11 wins vs cupcakes and act like they've done the same as a top team, playing in REAL meaningful games.
@@nflisrigged1395 Indiana had a better score against Ohio State than Tennessee did. These games can't be played hypothetically - the whole point of the 12 team bracket is that any unproven team can be tested.
I coach high school soccer. Not football and not college. I did play college soccer though. There seems to be a shitload of teams that can be eligible for the college football playoffs in the FBS? Many, if not the majority of these teams are considered weak or irrelevant, yet are in the FBS. It seems to always be the same exact teams that are dominant. People are arguing SOS or the amount of wins but the actual issue seems to be that certain schools are just better funded and are in a different league to others? This is a problem you see in highschool sports and was relevant in college soccer also where it is the same school(s) year after year because it's a very well funded, dominant program and that there is essentially a massive gap in talent between schools even though they are in the same conference or division.
They dont do it in the NFL either. There will be a team from the NFC South in the NFL playoffs....and all the NFC South teams are pretty terrible. Falcons might be good if they had a quarterback.
The goal is not the top 12. There are 5 automatic bids. Those teams don't have to be in the top 12. If we used the BCS formula to pick the top 12, the only team that would lose a spot would have been Clemson (an automatic bid). Maybe the gap between the top 8 teams and teams 9-12 is just that big. It is likely that a 12 team playoffs is just too big to give us 11 good games.
@@kenwright5410that’s a completely different situation buddy, nfl doesn’t choose who goes into the playoffs unless it’s tiebreakers, it’s a rule and just how it goes that all division leaders make the playoffs
I now understand why the CFP picked SMU over BAMA. Clearly, SMU would have won all of their games if they were in the SEC. Nice job, CFP. What a joke of a playoff it's been so far!
You can't handle Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, and yet you believe you are a playoff team and would succeed? Look at Tennessee and how they did. And they only lost twice this year! Stop losing multiple times to unranked teams.
The 12 team format was always gonna result in this garbage. It's nothing but a moneygrab. People don't realize the disparity between the top teams and even the teams around 10-12. 12 team playoff is a joke. Eventually a low seed is gonna get hot and go on a run and they'll use that outlier as a justification for this stupid format.
This weekend was a prime example of why the playoff needs expanded. It gives the “deserving” teams like smu and Indiana a chance….but it would also give the “good” teams like bama and South Carolina a chance. Expand it to a 24 team format. FCS, D2 and D3 have done this for years and it works beautifully. All the conference winners get home games, while the top 8 teams in the country get byes and home field the second round.
I almost wish that Bama or Ole Miss got in so that when (not if) they got skull-dragged this hard in the opening round, I’d be able to tell casuals like you that I called it.
The committee is/was filled with NORMIES…smooth brains that have never even played the sport! Why not have 13 people that either COACHED or PLAYED the game?! How hard is that??? 😅
Nah.. committee got it right. Bama was a 3 loss team with two coming to bad unranked teams and so they lost their spot. Also Remember when Bama got blown out by 3 or 4 TDs in the natty like 8 years ago against clemson? I guess one could argue that the committee should not have put bama in the next year bc they got blown out. Sometimes blowouts happen even if the two best teams play.
@@MarvelandStarWarsProductions And I'm honestly very happy we're getting games like this. Gives team who didn't have the chance to prove themselves the actual chance to prove themselves because Alabama and Ole Miss can't beat Oklahoma and Florida.

@@ASN_JAYluckily all those teams with 3 losses are also gonna have 10 wins after their bowl games. And if smu or Indiana had the schedule strength of those 3 loss teams they’d be 3-9

Alabama had ZERO business in the playoffs. ZERO. Just think about. They LOST 3 FREAKING GAMES. They played a weak schedule and lost to bad teams. BAD TEAMS!!! Alabama got what it earned. Damned SEC spooners p me off.
The committee didn’t want an another TCU vs Georgia result last year and thus we got an OT classic in the rose bowl with Bama and Michigan. Should have used that same logic and put a better team in this game like South Carolina. No way they would have gotten blown out this way today.
Alabama should’ve gotten in over anyone tbh, SMU, they’re js not good. Same with Indiana, about to be the same with Boise, ASU, and Clemson, all blowouts. SOS needs to come into affect when ranking these teams
People love to forget that TCU beat Michigan in a year in which Bama beat no one. Bama or South Carolina would've been plowed harder than SMU in Happy Valley.
PSU alumn here, got the win but the rest of the teams left in the playoff won't have a QB that gives the game away, defense needs to stop giving up chunk plays and offense needs to develop rhythm and string together consistent long drives that end in points every time. Next few playoff rounds will be fun to watch... the Boise St. running back is no joke !
Cupcakes playing weak schedules shouldn't be allowed in. SMU and Indiana got thrashed and wasn't even close. The playoff committee needs to stop listening to stupid people on social media and make the right choice.
You can live in fantasy land all you want and it STILL won’t undo the losses the teams that missed the playoffs had. If you want to make the playoffs, win games. You can’t assume they would win this game just to fit your narrative
What happened in a nutshell was, Penn State's defense ate that quarterback's lunch.
Not exactly. The quarterback threw it directly to Penn State for 2 of the interceptions. The SMU quarterback lost this game.

They need to change the criteria to what is your record against top 25 teams, and not if you can string 10-wins together against cupcakes.
Then nobody getting in no teams got ranked except SEC teams
SEC needs to play 9 Conf games like Big10 and also schedule like men in Non Conf. Whens the last time a SEC team played in happy valley!?
@@damianpresha9833 And what is the problem? The SEC wins 80% of the national championships.
@englishteacherdon In the BCS ERA it was impressive. In the CFP era they gave the SEC a 50% chance more years than not. Besides Alabama and Georgia have been great cause the SEC trash. But don't worry Tennessee getting exposed later tonight.
Horrible take
The Indiana game and now the SMU game are perfect example and prove again why who you play, strength of schedule matters.
It is being proven
Mercer?
Look at Ohio state and Tennessee. Let me guess, Tennessee also doesn’t belong in the playoffs?
Facts
@jonathanwaters2624 they were in quarters finals fcs and they play em every year .
I am not bama fan but it's true
Congrats to Penn state 🫡 thanks for making the B1G look respectable
Alabama, Miami, or South Carolina would have put up more of a fight than SMU or Indiana. Oh well I'm not of fan of any of them
Is that why they put up less of a fight against inferior teams?
No doubt. Maybe they shouldn’t have lost to unranked teams
Cole, you can't say that when the teams they lost to would absolutely beat at least 3/4 of the teams that Indiana and smu played.
Miami? No. SC I could see but honestly any southern team is going to get cooked in these conditions
@@rarecoldfire2775 The teams they lost to included Vandy, Oklahoma, Florida, LSU, none of which finished ranked.
Their problem was they all had bad losses, less so SCAR.
Say what you will, but it was cool to see SMU in the playoffs for an hour.
FR
Talk about beating a dead horse
Lollll good one
😂
Congrats to SMU for proving they took a better team's spot.
I agree but this is not on SMU.. this is 100% on the selection committee.. this system will always be flawed and there will forever be better teams left out I’m afraid..
cry harder
@@pauld.1256 Oh, to be sure. Indiana and SMU were ridiculously unqualified.
and Arizona State will do the same thing.
😂😂the hate 😂😂
SMU had no business being on the field Penn State. From start to finish you can tell they were just out matched and there is such a difference in the athletic ability. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put these teams in with power 5 conferences have lost their minds
You're going to have these games.. bec that's the only way.. the other conferences.. would agree to it.. with the automatic bids.. 💯🏈
#1 Texas Longhorns Fan.......As a Texan and living in the DFW area you have to give respect to SMU, they dominated in a new conference , ACC For those of you who do not know they were a dominant program in the 80's Looks like SMU is coming back to the National stage.
Lol
They didnt win the ACC. Therefore they didn’t dominate.
I guess there was a reason they only did a 4 team playoff for so long.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand mostly why for the 12 team playoff, but I think they should’ve stayed at the 4 team playoffs. But it does allow for more college football so the season “lasts longer”
I'm all for 12 teams, but use the old BCS metrics so we get the best 12, Indiana and SMU neither team should have been in the playoffs
2 games in chill out 😂
@1GaspardDeLaNuit2 games in & not looking good
@@deerodriguez8992 But Alabama didn't deserve to get in either at the same time. You don't deserve a spot if you lost 24-3 to a terrible 5-5 Oklahoma team. Not to mention a loss to Vanderbilt on top of that.
Penn State should give the smu qb a jersey for giving them so many points. SMU couldn't get out of their own way.
That's what a dominating and underrated defense does to people. Thanks for the compliment. WE ARE...
I can't get enough of roulette. There's just something about the thrill of the spin. Ever have those lucky days
This camera work makes it looks like an old school college ball game. Great nostalgia.
Penn State is tired of being underestimated and made fun of for years in end. I really hope it's them and Oregon for it all
They played SMU i bet 90% of american can't tell me where that is or what is stands for well find out if they legit next round
@daverome9212 it's some Catholic school in Texas (I think this is just from memory and guess what, they made the playoffs)
@@daverome9212 Southern Methodist University - Dallas Texas. I remember when SMU was given the College Football death penalty for recruiting violations in the 1980s.
You mean like in the Big 10 championship on December 7, where Penn State played Oregon and lost 45 - 37?

ESPN RUclips content creators, editors, and producers: I love watching the extended highlights videos…they are put together well. But please, please, PLEASE stop spoiling the outcome with the thumbnail. It ruins it for people like me who want to watch these highlights and experience that similar excitement and drama one gets from watching it live…
That's a special level of "incompetence" by that Penn QB with the shown second Play.... not throwing to his open guy right in front of him for an easy First down, instead losing progress.
He’s 20. Still young. Lots of potential but needs good development and to rewatch his tape and learn. He’s obviously not going to be as good as a decision maker as someone like Dillon Gabriel who is NFL aged.
Yes, I can't believe we have a QB who has a bad play here or there.
It was fun to be at this game! WE ARE!
One play can change an entire game. The dropped pass by SMU's tight end that stopped their opening drive hurt them badly.
That's why the game is comprised of plays
Boy that strength of schedule argument is shining bright. Boise better be able to muster more than 3 points. (Garbage time points DONT matter).
Yeah your sos argument really doesnt work on that program.
Either your dumb af and you think BSU doesnt schedule hard OOC or your a hypocritical a$$hole who penalizes BSU for being in the G5 while simultaneously rejecting BSU from playing in the P5.
Didn't Tennessee get slaughtered by Ohio state.... how's that argument work there?
All the folks crying about how the committee messed up. Win enough games in the regular season and you'll be in, plain and simple. Dont leave it up to the selection committee. If you lose 3 games in the regular season, it is absolutely up for debate.
Only problem is SOS, if you don’t play a team with a winning record, that 10-0 record get you in!
@@warrencooper4297 as it should, the 10-0 team shouldn't be penalized for the schedule that they have to play.
Midway thru the 3rd quarter the commentators were telling us how much SMU deserved to be there
They did.
Dude this crowd sounds nuts
I’m a Buckeyes fan. I gotta give my dues to the deserving. Like the legendary Alabama’s Nick Saban! IMHO, I don’t think there is anything like the Penn State White-Out! I’m watching it again 2 weeks later! I think Penn State will be in to the Semis! Maybe even 2025 Finalist!

That will never happen. There will always be controversy.

We did dimbass
How do they do that exactly? Should they just poll a bunch of idiots on RUclips?
exactly 😂
4:41 probably the best interception return I’ve ever seen!
Man who would have thought Indiana and SMU would be crushed in the first round? Totally a shocker smh. SOS needs to be considered more
Yeah. Tennessee also doesn’t belong in the playoffs
I agree. Tennessee didn't belong on the same field as a Big 10 team. Penn State played them much MUCH closer.
Way to go Committee. No need to consider strength of season. Another great playoff selection. Good thing you left Bama out of the brackets. TCU 2.0
After Indiana and SMU… strength of schedule is about to be the most important consideration next year
So Tennessee's schedule was easy?
My comment specifically mentioned 2 teams. Tennessee wasn’t mentioned anywhere. Tennessee deserved to be in. SMU and Indiana did not
I like the numbers on Penns helmets. Numbers on helmets is a great football look
Smu defense played amazing
Definitely did ❗
GO PENN STATE🦁🔵⚪️
1st round playoff blowouts happen. That's kind of the point of a seeded playoff (heck, even title game blowouts still happen). SMU earned a spot and Penn State was the better team. You always got to have chance for the underdog to have a shot! Just because the results aren't what a couch viewer wants to see doesn't mean the choices were wrong. Good news is that there's 3 more rounds of football.

@@thomasrogers4201"Everyone who disagrees with me is a fan of the team I disagree with" type fucker, god you're dumb.

The QB from smu has never been in this type of high pressure environment before and it showed on the field he was shook from the very started…😮😮😮
He played in a stadium that seats 38k.
@@macsloan58 SM WHO?!?! why are they even allowed a playoff appearence? what a joke HAHAHAHHA
@ stadium had nothing to do with today pressure on the line. He was shook, he folded under the moment blank point and period.. Did someone get paid to lose this game..suspicious 🤣🤣🤣
9:44 this run by Penn State's QB wouldn't have been so successful if defensive players weren't afraid of a flag for anything more than an arm tackle on QBs.
Never thought of see the day a whole other team would come "white out" uni's at Penn St.. Penn State's defense seemed to have taken that quite personally.
ASU and Clemson BETTER SHOW UP or else we ACC and Big 12 fans are cooked😭🙏
SMU shouldn't even count for the ACC. For all intents and purposes they're still a G5 team.
They will be cooked like a 5 star Michelin dish. Mark my words.
You're cooked!
Or else what? You’re gonna cry about it
I hope that Clemson gets it done. I freaking HATE Texas.
Hah…….Clemson just scored. 7-0.
Need to have more leverage with strength of schedule.These schools aren’t at the same level with the power conferences.
Indiana finished 2nd in the Big Ten. SMU finished 1st in the ACC. Who are these power conferences you speak of.
Facts!
@WheelhouseMike they played NOBODY , soon as Indiana had to play ohio state week 10 they got killed
Then again in the second real team they played , killed! Last night in note dame.
We can hide behind 11 wins vs cupcakes and act like they've done the same as a top team, playing in REAL meaningful games.
@@nflisrigged1395 Indiana had a better score against Ohio State than Tennessee did. These games can't be played hypothetically - the whole point of the 12 team bracket is that any unproven team can be tested.
Smu and indiana did what they needed to get into the cfp don't lose to trash teams and you'll be in
There should really be a way to get the top 12 teams in the country into a playoff. That's all we ask. Is that too much for us to ask?
Yes. The Comittee is corrupt or incompetent or both. Always have been. Use a formula and let AI adjust it for SOS and wins.
I coach high school soccer. Not football and not college. I did play college soccer though. There seems to be a shitload of teams that can be eligible for the college football playoffs in the FBS? Many, if not the majority of these teams are considered weak or irrelevant, yet are in the FBS. It seems to always be the same exact teams that are dominant. People are arguing SOS or the amount of wins but the actual issue seems to be that certain schools are just better funded and are in a different league to others? This is a problem you see in highschool sports and was relevant in college soccer also where it is the same school(s) year after year because it's a very well funded, dominant program and that there is essentially a massive gap in talent between schools even though they are in the same conference or division.
They dont do it in the NFL either. There will be a team from the NFC South in the NFL playoffs....and all the NFC South teams are pretty terrible. Falcons might be good if they had a quarterback.
The goal is not the top 12. There are 5 automatic bids. Those teams don't have to be in the top 12. If we used the BCS formula to pick the top 12, the only team that would lose a spot would have been Clemson (an automatic bid). Maybe the gap between the top 8 teams and teams 9-12 is just that big. It is likely that a 12 team playoffs is just too big to give us 11 good games.
@@kenwright5410that’s a completely different situation buddy, nfl doesn’t choose who goes into the playoffs unless it’s tiebreakers, it’s a rule and just how it goes that all division leaders make the playoffs
Went to this game and although it was freezing cold it was totally worth it! We Are!!!
Disgusted by the amount of holding they allowed SMU to get away with. There's no way they didn't see it. They just wanted to keep the game close.
Jennings would have gotten killed out there if SMU o line didn't hold on every play lol
I now understand why the CFP picked SMU over BAMA. Clearly, SMU would have won all of their games if they were in the SEC. Nice job, CFP. What a joke of a playoff it's been so far!
SEC? They wouldn’t even have won in the BIG10 🤣
@DJElToro787 Right!
you mean Alabama that lost to Vanderbilt and blown out by Oklahoma?
A joke of a playoff because Indiana, Boise St, Arizona St and SMU are being treated like high school kids by the Big Boys of the NCAA
@@hughjass8383 Exactly right. Auburn would have put up a better fight than SMU did, and they're near the bottom of the SEC.
Alabama, with no doubt, should have been there instead of SMU. You just the reason why.
Strength of schedule. More games like this are coming up
Didnt bama get skull dragged by a shitty Oklahoma team?
You can't handle Oklahoma and Vanderbilt, and yet you believe you are a playoff team and would succeed? Look at Tennessee and how they did. And they only lost twice this year! Stop losing multiple times to unranked teams.
Yep that should have been South Carolina or Ole Miss or Bama
Indiana looked like a division 3 school
Great job ncaa
The 12 team format was always gonna result in this garbage. It's nothing but a moneygrab. People don't realize the disparity between the top teams and even the teams around 10-12. 12 team playoff is a joke. Eventually a low seed is gonna get hot and go on a run and they'll use that outlier as a justification for this stupid format.
Nope, They lost.
@jonathanwaters2624 idc if they lost, I just want a good game😭
Very nicely done by Penn State 🔵⚪️🦁 and the defense to really kick things off and although SMU took a beating that TD was pretty good.♦️🔹🐎
This weekend was a prime example of why the playoff needs expanded. It gives the “deserving” teams like smu and Indiana a chance….but it would also give the “good” teams like bama and South Carolina a chance.
Expand it to a 24 team format. FCS, D2 and D3 have done this for years and it works beautifully. All the conference winners get home games, while the top 8 teams in the country get byes and home field the second round.

Thank you committee for not learning your lesson and giving us two more unwatchable games and probably a 3rd coming.
The committee is/was filled with NORMIES…smooth brains that have never even played the sport! Why not have 13 people that either COACHED or PLAYED the game?! How hard is that??? 😅
they had to do this so in the future they have a reason to not do this.
Nah.. committee got it right. Bama was a 3 loss team with two coming to bad unranked teams and so they lost their spot. Also Remember when Bama got blown out by 3 or 4 TDs in the natty like 8 years ago against clemson? I guess one could argue that the committee should not have put bama in the next year bc they got blown out. Sometimes blowouts happen even if the two best teams play.
Matter of fact to add in, my Pirates obliterated the Yankees this year… so its very likely an underdog can win. As seen by Bamas 3 losses.
Every low-ranked seed will be a first round exit. Bama wouldn't be and haters know that. If we got in, we would go all the way to Atlanta.

The home field advantage was HUGE here. I don’t see any other southern team beating PSU today in these conditions.
Penn state should send SMU a Christmas card for helping them to win 😅
And you should send Georgia one for last year.
PSU alumn here, got the win but the rest of the teams left in the playoff won't have a QB that gives the game away, defense needs to stop giving up chunk plays and offense needs to develop rhythm and string together consistent long drives that end in points every time. Next few playoff rounds will be fun to watch... the Boise St. running back is no joke !
