Prugar’s Projections: Where does Penn State line up for Bowl Season?

Welcome Penn State fans to Nittany Sports Now’s bowl projections.

With the College Football Playoff rankings being released soon and the Penn State becoming bowl eligible with its 33-30 overtime win at USC Oct. 12, it’s time for our first bowl projection of the season. We will take a look at projections until they are announced later this season.

Penn State still has a contest at Wisconsin before hosting No. 4 Ohio State in a beloved Big Noon game and a lot can happen throughout the country between now and the end of the season.

But alas lets take a look at how the College Football Playoffs could work out …
