At the end of the regular season, Penn State has advanced further in the national rankings.
In the Week 14 Associated Press Top 25, the Nittany Lions moved up one spot to No. 3. Ohio State’s loss to Michigan created the opportunity to advance in the poll (and earn a trip to the Big Ten Championship game) prior to Penn State’s 44-7 thumping of Maryland.
Oregon may be the only genuinely dominant team in the nation, and the entire 2024 season has been characterized by parity. As a result, the entire year has been an adventure for the AP Top 25. The complete final list worked out at this point:
Additionally, Penn State rose to third place in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Penn State concluded the regular season 11-1 for the first time since 2008 and for the first time under James Franklin. This Saturday, the Lions will play No. 1 Oregon in Indianapolis in an attempt to win Franklin’s second Big Ten Championship. At 8 p.m., the game will begin on CBS.
With decisive victories over Boise State, Ohio State, and Illinois, the Ducks finished 12-0 and are the last unbeaten team left in the FBS.
