Honorable Mention

The Ohio Bobcats went on to a 9-3 season and a berth in the MAC Conference Title game. A win over a MAC team in September might not seem like a big win, but Ohio ended up being a really solid football team.

The Maryland game was one of the most dominating games that Penn State played. The game was never in doubt, and Penn State showed the talent discrepancy between the two programs.

Michigan State came into the final game of the season needing a win to secure a bowl berth. Penn State needed a win to secure a New Years’ Six Bowl appearance. The game was tight in the fourth quarter, but super senior Sean Clifford closed the door on the Spartans.
