PENN STATE opens up a mere -7 over non-bowl team

[barman]

Hoping by kickoff I can get +300 on moneyline and I might pack it with my best NBA choice for Sunday for an 8x1 2Teamer.

Actually ended up packaging it with CBUS in NHL for a solid 6x1 return on my Modestly Endowed Unit

Anybody that "called" Iowa winning today is simply a homer. Congrats on the win. Go out and celebrate like we all did last Sat night. ope:

Not me, man. I am a Homer for nobody in CFB, save for some very low impact love for USF Bulls.

Thought I saw a report today that said this was the first win for Iowa over a top ten ranked opponent since 1990...hard to believe but kinda lad Penn State didn't win, they would have taken a real beat down by anyone they faced...I'm still hoping for a Florida-Oaklahoma game...

Iowa did Penn State a favor, it kept them from being rolled by 4 TD's in a title game. Good Big 10 team yet someone that is not even close to playing for a national title.

When one thinks about it and looks at the schedule, if PSU was deserving of a shot, then BALL STATE, BOISE ST, and UTAH deserved the same respect.

In fact, I would have to believe BOISE STATE would defeat PSU on a neutral field more times than not...........and definetly on the blue turf.

This is amazing, but IOWA has the possibility of producing two first team ALL-AMERICANS in the same season.............RB GREENE and DL KING.

Don't recall any Iowa team producing two first team ALL-AMERICANS.

GEEZ, I was more than wrong............Iowa has accomplished this three times in the past.

I agree with you Fisher. I remember looking before they played Ohio State, they had the 83rd toughest schedule in football. It's better now but still dead last in the Big 10. Really would have been a shame to see them take a spot from a more deserving team this year, props to your boys for exposing to everyone what most of us already knew. Still a Paterno fan, they just simply were not one of the top teams in football and should not have been portrayed as such. Not even close.

Not trying to stir it up again with the Big 10 twins here , but have to agree with you Fish, Boise St is a very good team and no surprise if they would beat Penn St.
