It had a lot more value and visibility when the East was all independents. It became the symbol of the unofficial championship of the "Eastern Indies". To qualify, I think, you have to play a majority of your games against oher Eastern schools. (I don't see how WVU or PSU would even qualify against that criteria.)

Once PSU went to the Big Ten, the trophy lost a lot of lustre and relevance because it meant the teams weren't all playing one another like they had previously.

What is it? It's a relic of the past. It would be very nice for SU to win it, especially for the older people among the SU fan base. But no one outside of us would even notice that particular award. To win it, SU would have to have a truly great season and the old Lambert Trophy would just be icing on the cake of National rankings, major bowl invitations and positive press coverage.

What's the Lambert Trophy? It used to be Floyd Little and Larry Czonka versus Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris in Archbold many. many years ago.
