Everything is going according to plan at the start of the season for Penn State. The football team currently holds a 2-0 record, while some of its biggest rivals in the Big Ten — Oregon, Ohio State, and Michigan — all have one loss apiece.
Things were a bit sloppier in Week 2 for the Nittany Lions, but they are still standing strong and appear well positioned to play in a Bowl Game at the very least. It seems to be close to a consensus opinion among pundits that they’ll be playing in the Citrus Bowl, with the only deviation being the opponent they will play.
However, there is one surprise this week, with one outlet not having the team play in a Bowl Game. Let’s take a look at the updated bowl projections from a few outlets and see who Penn State
is predicted to play in after the regular season.
