My grad school in Philadelphia may be a metric that decides if we get in over Penn State... for the record... I hate Penn State.... family went to Pitt...
If Temple wins their conference, they will enter the TOP -25... giving Penn State a boost in quality wins.
I am now willing to concede that there are a few games out there that I haven't thought of that may alter who gets in... because the committee seems to value wins over teams ranked 1-25... and 26 makes a difference...
at a minimum, I have to root for my grad school to lose..... I am going to research other non conference games and see if there will be an effect....
