		<description>these people are just downright ignorant and i can&#039;t believe i&#039;m siding with the Lions but when it effects our whole conference in the long run that&#039;s pretty serious..

what&#039;s going to hurt us in future years and the preseason poll next year is if Penn state goes in and loses bad...what then? imagine that scenario if we actually have a well oiled ass whooping machine of a team next year and it goes unrewarded</description>

		<description>Dean Wetzel at Yahoo! Sports agrees.  Check out his recent article. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-bcs102808&amp;prov=yhoo&amp;type=lgns

What really pisses me off is the fact that the Big 10 haters reference the lack of a conference championship game as a hit against the Big 10.  What a joke.  Obviously, the conferences with these games schedule for purely financial reasons, not for some high-minded, &quot;purity of the game&quot; logic.  College football, a sport I love to watch, is entirely motivated by money.  The reason the Big 10/Pac 10 works out deals with the Rose Bowl and the SEC/Big 12/ACC have conference championships is because these games make money.  PERIOD.</description>

		<description>i actually think that psu will have no problem getting into the iNC game, and i can already hear your objections. &#039;but lance, big ten = the 5uck0rz!!!1! no way the brains up top will let them pass a one loss SEC über l337 for the win!!!1!! (various grunts and chest bumping)&#039;

hear me out. the montage at the beginning of the psu/tOSU game said it all for me. ESPeaN is in love with the idea of old joe pa coming back and winning one final big game. it is the story that penn state fans will recount for years, throwing thier bottles full of p155 and shouting obscenities. even now, psu is starting to get first place votes. i wouldn&#039;t be surprised if they jump alabama in the near future. this is assuming that they can handle the rest of their schedule with some flair, which shouldn’t be too much of a problem. it also won’t hurt if michigan state can continue to win.

i also agree that i would have rather have  the chance to go an compete in the iNC than to just watch.</description>

		<description>Dienhart&#039;s article is rubbish. You are right; OSU&#039;s MNC game losses have absolutely nothing to do with PSU&#039; chances this year. IMO, if the pollster&#039;s think that PSU is a mirage, they sure as hell wouldn&#039;t have them at #3.  PSU has &#039;game&#039;, and they&#039;ve been proving it week in and week out.</description>

		<description>Here here! 

Nothing ticked me off more last year than Georgia whining about not getting a chance. If they really wanted to be there they would have at least won their division.</description>
