Ohio State vs. Penn State Football: Live Updates, Key Plays, and Insights

With the first College Football Playoff rankings just days away, two Big Ten powerhouses – the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions and No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes – face off in Happy Valley in a game packed with high stakes for both the Big Ten title race and the CFP standings.

The Buckeyes, carrying a loss against the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, must secure a win to maintain their position at the top of the conference. The Nittany Lions, despite a few nail-biting finishes, remain undefeated. However, James Franklin’s team hasn’t beaten Ohio State since 2016, and Penn State’s struggles against Big Ten elites have kept them from conference titles and playoff opportunities.

According to the Allstate Playoff Predictor, a win on Saturday would give Penn State a 97% chance of making the playoffs, though that figure drops to 76% if they lose. For Ohio State, already managing a loss, this game is critical. A victory against Penn State would boost the Buckeyes' playoff chances to 88%, while a loss would reduce it to just 49%.
