This is the most delusional Penn State take I've seen all year, and that's saying something. You think continuity on a defensive staff that couldn't stop Ohio State or Michigan for a decade is an advantage? That's not an edge, that's a known ceiling. Your entire argument is based on "development" for guys who haven't been drafted yet. Talk to me when they actually get picked. You lost a quarterback who carried your offense and think the system just plugs and plays? What system? The one that consistently finishes third in the Big Ten East? The portal reloaded weapons? With who? Names matter. You're hyping up sleepers while Oregon and Texas are landing proven starters. The 12-team playoff is about high-end talent, not just being physical. Georgia's five-star haul is literaly better than your entire roster. Indiana won the whole thing, they're not a fraud because you're bitter. Penn State is the perpetual "almost" team, and 2026 will be no different. You'll go 10-2, lose to Ohio State and whoever the new big dog is, and get bounced in the first round. Lock? You're a lock for the Rose Bowl at best, and you'll probably lose that too.
