7. Penn State Nittany Lions (9-2)

Other than Ohio State, Penn State hasn’t beat one other legit team all season long. They have been playing well and could be going to the Big Ten Championship if the Buckeyes beat Michigan. Doesn’t it feel like this entire post has been about the Big Ten?

Well, these teams have been playing extremely well and have themselves in prime position to make the playoffs. I think Penn State is the worst of all the Big Ten teams competing in the top ten, but if they win the conference, they deserve to be in the top four teams.

They do have to play Michigan State next weekend, which gave the Buckeyes a nail-biter, but I expect the Nittany Lions to pull out the victory to finish the regular season at 10-2.
