In past years, a Penn State win over the Buckeyes was imperative for any realistic playoff hopes for the Nittany Lions, but the expanded playoff format has changed the stakes because while a win for the black shoes wouldn’t go a whole lot deeper for their playoff projections, it could shift the narrative that’s haunted Franklin and his program for years – the mantra he carries with him like that his team comes up small on the biggest of stages.
There’s no erasing any of their other heartbreaking defeats to the Buckeyes in recent seasons. But a win Saturday could breathe even more life into the Penn State program by attracting recruits, boosting NIL contributions, as well as increasing support for Beaver Stadium renovations.
If Penn State does win on Saturday, they will remain undefeated and in contention for the Big Ten Championship Game. Indiana and Oregon are also each 8-0 heading into this weekend’s games but if Penn State has to face either it would only be in the Big Ten championship game, that is of course assuming that the Lions win out with only Washington, Purdue, Minnesota, and Maryland standing in their way.
Regular-season games don’t get much bigger than this. It’s the fourth College Football clash between two top-five teams this year with the Nittany Lions currently a 3-point dog to the Buckeyes for Saturday’ game in Happy Valley.
