This weekend’s biggest college football game is undoubtedly the Ohio State Buckeyes (#4) vs. the Penn State Nittany Lions (#3). This game has huge playoff potential as both teams compete to earn a spot in the college football playoff bracket.
Despite losing to the Oregon Ducks (#1) by one point last month, the Buckeyes are hoping to see the Ducks again in the Big Ten championship. To make the championship, the Buckeyes will have to defeat Penn State, undefeated Indiana, and Michigan to lock down a rematch. However, the first step is getting past the undefeated Penn State Nittany Lions this weekend.
Penn State has not been tested with their only extensive program win this year over an unranked USC team. Despite etching out the win, Penn State only beat USC by a field goal. If Penn State can defeat the Buckeyes, they have a relatively easy schedule leading to the post-season. Teams left on Penn State’s schedule include Washington, Perdue, Minnesota, and Maryland.
