Penn State has a clear path to playing Oregon in the Big Ten championship game.
Penn State head coach James Franklin holds up the B1G Championship trophy during post-game celebrations after the Lions won the Big Ten Championship held at Lucas Oil Stadium on Dec. 3, 2016. Joe Hermitt | [email protected] State escaped Minnesota with a win, continuing its College Football Playoff push. Ohio State beating Indiana also helped the Nittany Lions’ chances of playing for the Big Ten title.
But if Ohio State coach Ryan Day can manage losing a fourth consecutive game to Michigan, the Nittany Lions would be a win away against Maryland from getting to Lucas Oil Stadium. To make this cleaner, let’s remove Penn State and Indiana’s common opponents from the equation. They’re a wash in this scenario. Penn State’s different conference opponents are Illinois, Wisconsin, USC and Minnesota. Indiana’s different conference opponents are Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska and Northwestern. As things stand right now ...Looking ahead to the final week of the Big Ten slate, Penn State’s tiebreaker advantage can’t be overcome.
