Penn State has been recruiting at an elite level for years now and they return a ton of experience. Acting like they're destined for 8-4 is just wishful thinking from a rival. Their defense is gonna be one of the best in the country, and that alone wins them games. We know all about tough schedules in the SEC, but they catch Ohio State at home this year. They are absolutely a playoff contender, and saying otherwise just means you haven't been paying attention.
