This week, we’ve been made aware of how high Penn State football ranks, according to the AP Top 25 Polls. On Tuesday night, we will find out if the College Football Playoff selection committee is actually viewing the Nittany Lions as serious contenders or not.
Right now, Penn State is the No. 5 ranked team in the country. They are coming just shy of where they need to be in order to secure a playoff spot. By next weekend, that can all change, though. As we know, Penn State has a big game this Saturday.
As the Lions will take on another ranked Big Ten opponent in Minnesota, they can add another significant win to their record.
