The No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions still have a chance to make the Big Ten title game, but they’ll need some help. For James Franklin’s team to get to Indianapolis, he’ll need No. 2 Ohio State to lose “The Game” to Michigan in rivalry week, and then he’ll need to beat up on 4-7 Maryland at Beaver Stadium later in the afternoon. 

Regardless of whether the Nittany Lions have a shot to win the conference, finishing 11-1 almost guarantees a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff, and they’re one win away. Here’s how to watch Penn State’s regular-season finale.
