Penn State is coming off an impressive win at home against Michigan this past weekend, and now the Nittany Lions must travel to Columbus to take on No. 6 Ohio State. Penn State is in a rough stretch on its schedule, but if the team comes out unscathed its path to the College Football Playoff will be clear.
There are some other key games this weekend with No. 16 Michigan State playing at Northwestern. The Spartans are undefeated in conference play and 6-1 on the season, but Northwestern has played the role of spoiler before. Minnesota and Iowa are squaring off to see who can stay above .
