issues with this game.
Just take a look at USC. They Beat a pretty good LSU team and Wisconsin team (Both those teams traveled two time zones). USC also lost to Maryland, Minnesota, and Michigan when they travelled two time zones.
#3 Penn St. survived by the skin of their teeth @USC. So basically, you could have predicted USC's record by just following the 2 time zone rule. The only game you would miss is #3 Penn St. being good enough to overcome the curse.
