Following the unveiling of Tuesday’s second set of College Football Playoff rankings, two of the more talked about teams were Michigan and Penn State, but for different reasons.
The Wolverines, through no fault of their own, became a topic of conversation because of where they were ranked. They checked in at No. 6, one spot ahead of Michigan State, despite the Spartans having a head-to-head win over Michigan. Playoff committee chair Gary Barta then offered a milquetoast explanation as to why the Wolverines were ahead of Michigan State, which still left a lot to be desired.

The other topic of conversation was surrounding Penn State, which has yet to break through in the first two rankings. The Nittany Lions are 6-3, the same record as five other teams in this week’s top-25. Two of their wins are against current top-20 teams as are two of their losses.
They’ll look to finally earn a spot in the rankings this upcoming week as No. 6 Michigan heads to Beaver Stadium. Penn State is 3-3 against Michigan since Jim Harbaugh has led the maize and blue, but the Nittany Lions have won the last two matchups.
Michigan could be without two of its star running backs in Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards, while Penn State should be relatively healthy as it looks to pull off the upset and climb its way up the rankings.
