Penn State comes in at No. 4 this week staying put as the top-5 went unchanged. With Ohio State and Indiana slated to face each other this weekend, that means there will certainly be some changes coming to the top 5.
For now, PSU is right where it needs to be. Jr would be the No. 6 seed and would host a playoff game if it were to end today. Penn State has Minnesota and Maryland still to play and it is are favored in both of them.
Letโs take a look at how the College Football Playoffs could work out …
