Well, you said it.  Penn State has NOT looked super impressive.  As I've
posted before, George does his predictions and top twenty based on power
ratings.  Right now, PSU is tied for 27th with 5 other teams because they
have not clobbered anyone (like Air Force, Nebraska, and Auburn have).
George predicted Penn State to beat Alabama by one.  PSU won by 2 so their
power rating does not change because it was 'right'.

Personally, (this is Mannie talking), I agree with you 100%.  I think Penn
State belongs in any top twenty list.

Anyway, that is the reason.  Someday we might make George a little smarter
but for now we are having fun running George and we hope you enjoy reading
his top teams and prognostications.  So keep those cards and letters coming.
