But there is an expanded college playoff coming after the championship games. James Franklin’s 11-1 Penn State team was looking good for a home game in the playoffs. But then the Ohio State upset loss to Michigan happened. Now the Lions draw unbeaten Oregon in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis this weekend.

Penn State’s worst outing as an offense this season came against Ohio State. Receivers struggled to get open while a turnover in the end zone and a goal line stop told the story. This is a chance to see what this offense and its most versatile playmaker can do in another marquee matchup.

Penn State will face Oregon in the Big Ten championship game next week. Oregon clinched a spot in the Big Ten title with its 11th win of the season two weeks ago (Oregon was off last week). The Ducks came into the final week of the regular season with an 11-0 overall record and a clean 8-0 Big Ten record, including a win over Ohio State.
