Fing service error 7-5

6-5 nice block

That's unrealistic for me. We just have a difference of opinion. If the CFP 12 team playoff has been around the last nine years, Penn State would have been to 4-5 playoffs. And it still wouldn't be enough. NC or bust mentality will lead to plenty more failure than success, but it's the nature of the beast. Seven programs have won NC's since 2011. Of the 15 titles, nine were won by four coaches. Now we enter the 12 and soon to be 16 team playoff. I'll be interested to see how playoff appearances change the expectations in the future. Winning an NC is extremely difficult. It's not a given, even for the blue bloods now due to the portal and NIL. If a fan base is NC or bust, 95% or more of fan bases will be in a never satisfied vicious circle.

Fing service error #11

It’s probably a zero sum game. Anything he makes coaching will likely offset his severance.

Agreed.

I should have said before the season started 😁

Need to improve on service errors

Think CFB, while in the best place for fans than ever before because of 12 and soon 16 team playoff, is about to enter a vicious cycle for coaches. Expectations are going to be out of control, NIL will breed more broken locker rooms when things get iffy early in seasons, portal is going to make for more college basketball like football teams that take longer to gel, etc...

Texas takes 2nd set 25-16

I did, if Penn State lost to teams like UCLA and Northwestern. This was a last dance type of season for Penn State.

Much Better

Thats right!! That’s exactly why being able to beat ranked teams matters. You don’t win national championships or even survive in a 16 team playoff without proving you can consistently beat top 15 and top 10 opponents and Franklin hasn’t shown he can do that. Again, good on Penn State for finally seeing this. Very true! Franklin and Sark both have plenty of wins, but look at the records that actually count: Sark is 13–13 vs ranked, 4–8 vs top-10, 1–6 vs top-5. Franklin is 15–30 vs ranked, 4–21 vs top-10. Those aren’t championship level numbers, especially in a 16 team playoff, you basically have no chance. The playoff is only going to expose that even more. It’s not about “unrealistic expectations,” it’s about finally meeting real ones. If you can’t beat elite teams regularly, you’re not a contender, you’re just padding your record.
