Welcome Penn State fans to Nittany Sports Now’s bowl projections.
With the College Football Playoff rankings being a week away from being released and a matchup of significant magnitude, it’s a great time to look at where the PSU might find itself in December.
Penn State faces No. 4 Ohio State in a game that will send a ripple through the playoff committee’s ranking and should give us a big indication of how they view the win or loss.
From last week there aren’t many changes other than the addition of Notre Dame and Texas A&M who are both starting to heat up as the season winds down.
Lets take a look at how the College Football Playoffs could work out …
