Interesting enough, PSU’s CFP chance at 10.7% is higher than their chance to win the Big Ten (4.6%) or even their division (6.3%). This suggests that if Penn State were to get in, they’d make it alongside another Big Ten East team such as Ohio State or Michigan.
ESPN’s FPI system currently has Penn State as the No. 10 team in the country, despite having the 11th best odds. The nine ahead of the Nittany Lions in order are Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Michigan, USC, Clemson and Notre Dame.
