The unraked Penn State Football Nittany Lions welcome the top-10 Michigan Wolverines to Beaver Stadium on Saturday

Penn State Football ended its three-game losing streak with a road win at Maryland last week and welcomes divisional foe Michigan and Jim Harbaugh to town for a crucial match-up with huge divisional implications in the Big Ten East conference standings.

The Nittany Lions didn’t run away from the Terrapins last week, but did win (and cover) at Maryland.

It wasn’t enough for the College Football Playoff Committee, as they left Penn State Football unranked again.

Seems odd, as they ranked Michigan No. 9, yet they are underdogs this weekend vs unranked Penn State …

And remember, Penn State Football still has a chance to win the conference!

What will it take for Penn State Football to make it a three-game winning streak vs the Wolverines, dating back to 2019?
