Note:
All of the above rankings are taken directly from the NCAA except for strength of schedule, which is not ranked by the NCAA and instead taken from team rankings.
The Redzone TD% and Redzone TD% Defense are calculated by me and not ranked by the NCAA. Determining who has the advantage in these categories is strictly my arbitrary judgment.
Quick thoughts:
This is going to be a very bad, not fun game.
I did laugh, again, while creating this post - truly the only thing that surprised me was PSU’s plummet in kickoff return defense (headed into last week, the Nittany Lions hadn’t given up a single return; against Iowa, they gave up one, for 25 yards, so they went from tied for first to near the bottom).
