Penn State’s first-round playoff matchup versus SMU will not coincide with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ December 21 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. As part of a Saturday doubleheader, the Steelers will play in Baltimore at 4:30 while Penn State will face the Mustangs at Beaver Stadium at noon.
The AFC North might be decided by the clash between Pittsburgh and Baltimore. To secure the division, the Steelers need to win that game against Baltimore plus another one. After playing the Browns on Sunday, the Steelers will travel to Philadelphia the following week to play the Ravens.
When Penn State hosts SMU at Beaver Stadium, they will compete for a Fiesta Bowl berth. They will play the Boise State Broncos, the Mountain West Conference champions, if they prevail.
In any case, Steelers and Penn State fans won’t have to worry about choose between their teams or setting up a complex two-screen configuration because the teams won’t be playing against each other on that crucial Saturday.
