Comparing 2026 to 2027 is apples and oranges

Penn State was in a bad spot when those recruits flipped. I'm not saying he can't keep up those results, but the reasons will be very different. It's the only thing that concerns me with the lack of proven portal players. I have patience to wait until 2027 season to see the payoff, but will recruits remain believers if we go 6-6 or worse? Hope we don't have to find out.

It's a question of money and selling you don't have to run through OSU...

As it stands, VT still has a harder path to the CFP than PSU.
