There are few better feelings in college football than putting a feather in the cap of a successful season by winning a Bowl Game. This is something Penn State knows all about, having competed in 57 total Bowl Games throughout its history.
The Nittany Lions have a 34-21-2 in these games, with their most recent one coming this past season, culminating in a 22-10 victory over Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl. This is something they’ll hope to repeat in 2026 if the College Football Playoff is out of the question.
Many major news outlets have been releasing their Bowl Game projections for the 2026 season, and Penn State has been included in most of them. We did the work of compiling them all in one place to create a robust visual of where the Nittany
Lions stand with these publications.
