Despite a below the line performance against Bowling Green, Penn State football is still projected to be one of the 12 teams in the college football playoffs.
At this point, as long as they keep on winning, it’s just a matter of what seed the Nittany Lions will receive.
As is the case every Monday during the season, longtime College Football Insider Brett McMurphy releases his projections for both bowl games and the seeding for the playoffs.
McMurphy once again has Penn State receiving an at-large bid, however, he has dropped them a spot from last week and not hosting a 1st round game.
