Penn State vs. Michigan College Football Picks: Over-hyped; over-rated; living on borrowed time; not a national contender even before the loss to Iowa – are things some pundits are saying about the 2009 version of the Penn State Nittany Lions. While today's Penn State opponent Michigan came into the season with expectations that would accompany a retooling program, the Nittany Lions began the year on the BCS watch-list.
