What to expect in the Oregon vs. Penn State matchup

Oregon, the only remaining unbeaten team in the FBS, has excelled in its debut Big Ten season, overcoming the powerhouses Ohio State and Michigan along the way. Meanwhile, Penn State, after an early-season loss to Ohio State, has fought back to earn its spot in the title game.

Historically, Penn State leads the series 3-1, with their last matchup taking place in the 1995 Rose Bowl, which the Nittany Lions won. However, a win for Oregon this time would mark another chapter for them in history, as the Ducks could join Michigan State as the only teams to defeat Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State in the same season.

For Penn State, this is a chance to rewrite its script against No. 1 teams. Although their last win against a top-ranked opponent came in 1990, the Nittany Lions are capable of pulling off an upset, especially with their balanced offense and disciplined defense.

The game is expected to be a close contest. While Oregon is favored by 3.5 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook which suggests a closer margin. Both teams vie for the Big Ten title and a potential No. 1 playoff seed.
