StatePenn was playing their usual nobody schedule back in those days.
But at least the AP schizmed off and you can still be a champion and not be in the "nc game."
Has happened.

I don't know. They beat the big 8 and SEC powers in the Orange and Sugar Bowls when they were eastern nobodies their first 3 unbeaten years. They got tired of being eastern nobodies so they joined the Big 10. In 1994 they played Southern Cal, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon. That wasn't good enough either. They're only nobodies when Penn State plays them I guess. JoePa's 1 for 5 in having unbeatens be national champs. I guess 20 percent isn't so bad. Of course Paterno's ALWAYS lobbied for a playoff which pretty much explains the 1994 poll results in spades. He knows the fallacy of the system.
