PSU wins the Big Ten Conference Championship.
And Ohio State, which Penn State defeated, goes to the College Football Playoff.
So, we have these championship games, and you start to ask, why?

So, according to the CFP, Penn State was not one of the four best teams, and therefore the Lions go to the Rose Bowl.
