Leaving aside the issue of whether the punishment was or wasnt appropriate (_please_ there are lots of threads where that's already being discussed), a question on how much they'll fall.
Obvioulsy not top 25, but just how weak?
I hear some folks say 1AA ... but there are some very good 1AA teams that could be mediocre 1A teams. On the one hand I'd think Penn St should be able to be as good as a good 1AA team since they've at least got 1A coaches and facilities, even if only 65 scholarships. On the other hand, I guess the drawbacks are that 1AA can attract some pretty good 1A transfers, and that those players are still competing for the playoffs.
Just curious to hear opinions of those who follow the competitiveness levels more closely.
Winless in Big 10 or will they still beat Indiana et al?
2012 nonconf = Ohio, Navy, Virginia, Temple
2013 nonconf = Syracuse, EMich, Kent St, Virginia
