Michigan moved up one spot in the college football playoff rankings on Tuesday evening — it now sits at No. 6.
The Wolverines have all of their goals still in front of them with a Big Ten title and a playoff spot still squarely in the picture. The path is simple, Michigan just needs to take care of business one game at a time and this week the maize and blue have to take care of the Nittany Lions.
Penn State is currently unranked in the playoff rankings, but this 6-3 team is still a formidable foe that Michigan cannot take lightly — especially with the game being on the road. PSU had lost three straight games this year to the likes of Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio State — before getting a win against Maryland — but it also has a couple of quality wins under the belt as well, such as at Wisconsin and hosting Auburn in Week 3.
The Nittany Lions have won the last two contests between these two teams, but the Wolverines will look to break that streak on Saturday afternoon.
Here are three keys for Michigan to get another win on the road.
