Penn State’s all-time record against every team in the Big Ten

Penn State joined the Big Ten in 1993 and since then the Nittany Lions have won the conference title outright twice in 1994 and 2016, and shared the crown in with Ohio State in 2005 and 2008. 

Now, winning the conference is getting even more difficult with the arrival of UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington. Washington made the National Championship game last season and Oregon could be even better than the Huskies in 2024. Going forward, winning the Big Ten won’t just mean beating Ohio State and Michigan.
