Fresh off Penn State’s win at Minnesota, the Nittany Lions come in at No. 4 this week staying put as the top-4 went unchanged. Much more chaos was felt throughout the top-25 as losses were handed out to Indiana, Alabama, Ole Miss and among others.
Heading into the final week of the regular season, Penn State looks to end on a winning note by taking care of Maryland. If they do that, the Nittany Lions will see a home playoff game as the No. 6 seed.
Let’s take a look at how the College Football Playoffs could work out …
