Just for shits & giggles I outlined below Penn State & our next 3 opponents recruiting rankings the last 5 years.
2025 2024 2023 2023 2022
PS - 12, 16, 16, 7, 25
Albany - NR NR NR NR NR
SPITT - 41, 37, 52, 68, 23
Kansas - 62, 47, 73, NR, 44
WVU - 32, 42, 44, 30, 47
These are just pure numbers. They don't factor in portal players, coaching, injuries, schedule strength, etc. etc. etc.
What it tells me though (IMO)

What it tells me though (IMO)
- Penn State was suppose to beat the shit out of us and anyone on that list.
- We will look bigger and stronger and faster to Albany then Penn State looked to us. Typical result will follow.
- We out recruited Spitt & definitely Kansas these past 5 years.
- If the Spitt, Kansas games are not close or we don't flat out dominate (all other factors being somewhat even)...............Let the meltdown begin.
