Penn Stated: Talking Penn State Football with Donnie Collins

The overrated, the underrated and the most important

Media News Group Season 3 Episode 3

Penn State knows where it's ranked (not that it matters).
They'll sign up for finishing where they start, too.
On this week's episode of the Penn Stated podcast, co-hosts Donnie Collins and Sam Fremin of The Times-Tribune in Scranton discuss the Nittany Lions' season-opening No. 8 ranking in the Associated Press poll, which was released on Tuesday. Obviously, they will be happy to finish there in the College Football Playoff rankings, considering a No. 8 will get them a home game in the first round of the 12-team tournament. But are they overrated in that spot, or underrated?
Donnie and Sam discuss that, as well as the overrated-or-underrated question on the rest of the nine teams that comprise the top 10, including three other Big Ten teams: No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Oregon and No. 9 Michigan.
In the second segment, the hosts discuss the most important players on the Penn State roster this season, drafting their top 6 players in terms of importance. Some may surprise you. Others might not.
