USC VS. Penn State is the matchup. Of the people i talk to I am the only one that is giving Penn State a chance? The current spread is USC by 10, anyone else giving Penn State a chance? Or will it be total domintion by USC.

Defense: USC is giving up under 10 ppg, but Penn States MLB are world class

Edge:USC

Offense: Its easy to just call this an easy win for USC with Mark Sanchez but Penn Statae is actually averaging more PPG this year.

Edge: Penn Statae

Coaching: Carrol VS Paternp. Matchup of coaching legends. Joe Pa is expected to coach from the sideline this game, first time since the end of September. Carrol is a caoching legend and is making history every year with continous great teams

Edge: Toss up

Records: Each team has one loss on the season both to unranked conference opponenets. In the case of USC they simply overlooked Orgeon State, with a matchup with Ohio State a week later. They were out of that game form the get go and really never looked in it. With a win in that game, there is no doubt about it they are in the National Championship game. The same could be said for Penn Statae who also lost 1 game to a unranked conforence opponenet. This very easily could have been a national title game but with a couple of slip ups it is a number 5 Vs a number 8.

Edge: Penn State. Their loss was on a GW FG as time expired

I've currently got my money on Penn State but I'm not to college football savy.

What do you think. Also Happy Hollidays

Can both of them lose?

This is a waste of a fan post

USC will destroy Penn State because USC destroys every team out of it’s own conference(team Vince Young being the exception). How many Big Ten teams do we have to destroy before they match us up with a real opponent?

I want to believe in Penn State,

but there’s too much of an “Ohio State in 2007 and 2008 national championships” aftertaste.

Ceci n'est pas une signature.

I don’t care who wins. I love watching the parade and then the game. We always do both and have snacks and other phat eats during the day. It’s awesome.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.
