No. 1 Oregon and No. 3 Penn State will meet at Lucas Oil Stadium in a Big Ten Championship Game matchup few could have predicted this season. After all, the Big Ten has long been a conference dominated by Ohio State and Michigan, and when the league dropped divisions, most were certain those would be the two programs reaching this game.
Instead, it’s an Oregon program navigating the Big Ten for the first time — a program that happens to be the only undefeated FBS team remaining. Standing between the Ducks and a Big Ten title is a Penn State team that was largely written off as a Big Ten contender after losing to Ohio State earlier in the season.
The Nittany Lions have long been labeled a program unable to get over the hump. Well, Michigan got rid of that hump for them last week.
While both teams are firmly entrenched in the CFP’s 12-team field, the No. 1 seed and a bye is reachable for both. If Oregon wins, it’ll remain at No. 1, and Penn State could jump to No. 1 with a win over the Ducks even if No. 2 Texas beats Georgia.
In other words, there’s a whole hell of a lot to play for in Indianapolis Saturday night.
