When did PSU start putting numbers on their helmets?

Not a fan.
It's been their alternate for a while, considering they will be using these photos in promos forever, weird time to bust out an alternate

I actually agree.

I don't think they'd ever have an Ohio State-Michigan game at night in part because of tradition and in larger part because of drunk idiots. But man it would be pretty awesome to see an Ohio State-Michigan night game.

3:30

Big Ten didn't allow night games in November at that point.  One year MSU played Penn State at a weird time, like 4:45? because 5:00 was the cut off to be a night game
B cause the big ten is stoopid

Yeah I don’t want to hear it.

Alabama defense gave up 40 to fucking Vanderbilt and lost and they got blown the fuck out and only scored 3 points and lost by 21 points to a 6-6 Oklahoma team that had one of the worst offenses in the country.

they just win one of those games they are in. Tennessee is a really good team and it was a 7 point game, ok that’s not a bad loss. Those other 2 losses? Pathetic.

At some point the regular season has to you know, matter.

yup, any team that has a bad game in the playoff is deemed unworthy

who's to say Bama or Ole Miss would have fared better?

This has been a year of decidedly mid teams. Makes the selection discussion irritating because everyone has a middling case, and everyone is just arguing for whatever helps their team.
