Those who support Tennessee and Georgia will be flipping on FOX at noon Saturday and rooting for Indiana’s demise. But what about Penn State fans? Who should the Nittany Lions pull for before tuning into Penn State’s game at Minnesota? Penn State is ranked No. 4 by the CFP committee for a myriad of reasons. The Nittany Lions have looked convincing in most of their wins. They scheduled and beat a power conference team, West Virginia, in the non-conference on the road. Their strength of schedule is good. Their “strength of record” isThat last point, though, seems to be doing some heavy lifting. Penn State’s best resume booster is losing a tight game to Ohio State.
Then, there’s the Big Ten championship part of this, which, admittedly, is easier to ignore. Penn State has a small percentage chance of reaching Indianapolis and playing for a conference crown — and the first-round CFP bye that goes with it. But the only way Penn State can get there is with an Indiana loss to the Buckeyes.. It’s not likely; the Wolverines simply aren’t good.
