Penn State's FPI Rise and Playoff Hopes | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State kicks off the new college football season ranked 16th nationally by ESPN’s Football Power Index, with a score of 13.7—actually higher than their preseason AP Poll spot. While their chances to win the Big Ten sit at just 4.6%, their path to the College Football Playoff looks much brighter at 22.8%. With a big Week 4 showdown against Wisconsin looming and plenty of room to climb if top-ranked teams stumble, the Nittany Lions are poised for a strong campaign—and we’ll be watching closely as they face powerhouses like Michigan and USC.
