2010 they lost to every ranked team they played. Alabama, Iowa, Ohio St and Michigan St. They were blown out of 3 of those games and also blown out at unranked Illinois. Like I said they were not that good, but living off the past with high rankings.

2009 they lost to Iowa at home week 4. Basicley ending any National Championship chance. They also lost to Ohio St again. Nothing wrong with the year they had, but they were out of the National Championship race early on.

2008 I cant argue much here. They had a nice team this year, but once again find a way to blow a game at Iowa. I tryed looking it up, and Im pretty sure they were a 14.5 point road favorite.

This year... I dont think anyone would argue that the Big 10 is not down. Ohio St is rebuilding, Wisconsin was supposed to be good and they have blown 2 games. Penn St has played 1 ranked team and they could not move the ball at all, they looked like a high school team. They are the most fortunate 8-1 team EVER. They have stuggled with Temple, Indiana, Iowa, Purdue and Illinois... Everyone of those teams sucks. Now I get they might be able to rally because of the Joe Pa situation, but they are very likely to finish off 0-3. The thing that might save them from going 0-3 is that like I said earlier the Big 10 is down. Nebraska and Ohio St are not that good. Ill say very best case for them is 1-2 if they beat Nebraska in Happy Valley.
