Overheard On Twitter: Jabrill Peppers Is Fine With Being Ranked Below Penn State
Following the release of the final College Football Playoff rankings yesterday, there were several questions left unanswered: How can the committee overlook Washington’s weak out of conference schedule when it is ranked 127th out of 128? How is Ohio State ranked ahead of a team that beat them and won their conference? And how is Michigan ranked below a team they beat by 39?
Michigan’s star all-around athlete Jabrill Peppers took to twitter last night to explain the latter. He is completely fine with Penn State being ranked ahead of his Wolverines.
We take care of business, we’re in. We don’t, we’re not..& we didn’t. Can’t knock the teams that did.

Even though we beat PSU handedly, We were their last lost, early in the season. They didn’t lose again, beat OSU and Iowa & won the Ship.

I think the committee knows we are better, they just can’t knock what they’ve turned their season into. It’s a slippery slope.

Thus.. Us being #6 behind PSU makes sense.

Shoutout to the Guys at PSU! Y’all did y’all thing, hold it down in the Rose!

Coming from a rival player of this magnitude, it shows you the kind of respect Penn State has gained over the final two months of the season. The country and all of college football is starting to realize that this season wasn’t a fluke and that Penn State is a truly a good team. Respect to Peppers for being one of the first people to admit it.
