We have a great weekend of college football ahead of us, and the best game of the week is without a doubt Penn State vs. Ohio State.
There hasn’t been a single game all year that has playoff implications like this one. Ohio State’s championship hopes are done with a loss. They have no shot at getting in, even if somehow they turned around and won the Big Ten.
On the other hand, Penn State could still likely find a way in as a 12-1 Big Ten champion.

This game will feature elite quarterbacks for both teams: Trace McSorley for the Nittany Lions and J.T. Barrett for the Buckeyes.
Penn State holds a firm advantage in the running game with Saquon Barkley in the backfield. However, Ohio State has a strong advantage on defense, especially on the defensive line. This game should be electric.
Tune in at 3:30 EST on Fox to watch this one unfold.
