Sleepers With Playoff Potential | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Forget the preseason hype—last year seven of the 12 playoff teams came from outside the top 15. That means it’s time to look deeper for dark horses. Penn State, despite a shaky finish last season, has a manageable early schedule and can still win ten games to earn playoff buzz. Tennessee, with a stacked linebacker corps and explosive offense, could shock if they win just two of their brutal home matchups against Texas, Alabama, and LSU. And don’t overlook Houston—they’re loaded with returning talent, including their QB, and even splitting tough road games against Texas Tech and Utah could still get them to the Big 12 title game. The playoff race is never as predictable as it seems—and these teams are ready to rewrite the script. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
