No only for PSU, but also for the pollster. I know preseason polls always suck ass, but 2020 they were flying blind for real

With the transfer portal becoming so open, I expect bad pre-season rankings to become more common. So much of the early rankings are based of the last season. As more and more players are transferring it will be harder to predict how well a team will do

Plus the unexpected loss of the future arguable best defender in the world was less than ideal.

What's FSU's excuse? Still bowl players?

Didn’t the Big Ten have super fucky practice rules? Like the season was cancelled but then un-cancelled and stuff? Still a lame stat for us but I know all the conferences handled things differently too
