Penn State football has the pieces to win the 2026 College Football Playoff and ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit knows it too.
On "The Pat McAfee Show," Herbstreit spoke highly of the Nittany Lions, nodding to how close they were to a title in 2024-25. Not only did they fall in the Big Ten Championship Game, their season ended just ahead of the CFP championship contest.
"I think Penn State has a chance with what [it] went through last year. They've been so close. I think their fans want them to get there," Kirk Herbstreit said.
