Penn State vs Northwestern Game Preview

Why Northwestern Will Win

So what’s going well in this disaster of a run?

If you’re losing to Duke, Southern Illinois, and Miami University at home, things aren’t going well. However, the passing game has been clicking. Ryan Hilinski and the Cats are good for over 200 yards, and they’re going to keep winging it around.

What’s working? The defense was great against the Miami University passing game, the offensive line hasn’t been bad in pass protection, and the main problem is fixable.

Northwestern has to be Northwestern. It has to control the clock, win the mistake battle, and it has to get physical on the offensive front. It can do all of that, but …

– NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Penn State Will Win

The Wildcats can’t stop screwing up.

Northwestern can’t afford to make mistake – EVER. If it halts the giveaways, it has the makeup and style to hang with just about anyone. If it loses the turnover battle, it can lose to Southern Illinois and Miami University.

The team is -5 in turnover margin this year with nine giveaways over the last three weeks.

Penn State? It took the ball away four times in the blowout over Auburn, and then it took the ball away four times against Central Michigan.

It’s going to take the ball away from Northwestern.

The secondary will give up yards – it has hardly been a rock – but it makes plays, the run defense won’t allow a thing, and …

– Schedules, Previews College | NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Can Penn State keep doing what it’s doing?

One turnover. That’s all it has given up so far with a lonely interception in the opener against Purdue. The penalties haven’t been a problem, the team isn’t making big mistakes, and as long as that holds form, all will be fine.

Northwestern will keep pressing, but it’s at its best when it can control the game with a lead. The team is way overdue for a great performance, but that’s not happening here.

It won’t be a total wipeout – Northwestern will keep throwing – but there won’t be a ton of drama.

Penn State vs Central Michigan Game Preview

Why Central Michigan Will Win

Will Penn State be able to keep its full focus after the blowout win over Auburn?

It’s not like there’s anything big ahead – Northwestern is up next – but it’s been an interesting first three weeks with a gut-check rally to beat Purdue and the high-profile win on the road against the SEC. As we’ve seen with Central Michigan, it can take advantage of any opportunity.

It rallied back to make it interesting late against Oklahoma State, and last week it finally got the ground game working in a blowout over Bucknell.

The Chippewas are fantastic at getting into the backfield, the run defense has been strong, and …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Penn State Will Win

Central Michigan doesn’t have the passing game bother the Penn State secondary.

The Nittany Lions have allowed yards, but they’ve given up fewer than a 50% completion rate overall so far. Auburn almost hit 300 yards but couldn’t get anything going, and the pass rush is there to bother CMU QB Daniel Richardson enough to keep the attack from going off.

The Chippewas offensive line hasn’t been great so far, the defense isn’t forcing enough mistakes, and the secondary was lit up before the Bucknell game, and …

– Week 4 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Sean Clifford has been better than you think.

Penn State fans might be liking the great young prospects waiting in the wings, but Clifford is playing like a good veteran who’s able to handle the moment and steadily keep everything moving.

The team made a statement against Auburn. Instead of packing it in and getting through this before the Big Ten season kicks in full force, expect a good, balanced performance and a nice day from the defense.

Central Michigan will score points in the second half, but Penn State will have this in hand.

Penn State vs Ohio Game Preview

Why Ohio Will Win

That was more like it.

After struggling in a strange 2021, Ohio came out roaring with a strong 41-38 win over Florida Atlantic. There weren’t any turnovers, the offense cranked up the passing game, and the defense was able to weather the storm.

QB Kurtis Rourke is a dangerous all-around playmaker who can hit the big play, run around a bit, and potentially pick apart a Penn State secondary that had plenty of issues with the Purdue passing game in a thrilling 35-31 win.

The defense that did a great job of getting behind the line against FAU should be able to hold up a bit, but …

– CFN Expert Picks, Week 2

Why Penn State Will Win

Penn State was able to survive and advance.

The win over Purdue was one of those moments that sets the tone for an entire season.

It was down and in big trouble, and then the offense got the ball back and Sean Clifford went to work with a late drive and his fourth touchdown pass of the game to get the win.

Ohio is a lot better this season, but the secondary is questionable – it got ripped apart by FAU’s N’Kosi Perry. Penn State should be able to throw well and dink and dunk as much as it wants, but …

– Week 2 Schedule, Predictions, Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

This is about the ground game for Penn State.

It struggled to get anything consistently going against Purdue and there weren’t any big, gashing dashes. Ohio didn’t allow much of anything against the FAU running game, but in this, Penn State has to let the O line eat.

When that doesn’t happen, Clifford will go back to work. This will be more dangerous than Penn State might like for a little while, but it’ll pull away in the second half.

Penn State vs Purdue Game Preview

Why Penn State Will Win

The defensive back seven should be able to hold up.

Purdue isn’t going to run the ball. Actually, more to the point, it won’t be able to run the ball and won’t give it much of a shot with the passing attack taking over right away – and without 2021 star WR David Bell.

The Penn State secondary has a few stars in corner Joey Porter and safety Ji’Ayir Brown, and Kalen King is a growing playmaker on the other side of Porter. If the pass rush that was just okay last season can rise up and start doing a little more, the Boilermakers won’t take control offensively like it will want to.

On the other side, QB Sean Clifford and the 1-2 receiving punch of Parker Washington and KeAndre Lambert-Smith should hit the Purdue secondary deep. However …

Why Purdue Will Win

The Purdue defensive front should do more than hold its own against the Penn State offensive line.

The Nittany Lions aren’t bad up front – it was fine, and it helped the depth through the transfer portal – but it still has to prove it can provide a push after a rough year for the ground game and do something in pass protection.

No, Purdue isn’t going to own the trenches defensively, but if Penn State can’t control the clock – time of possession wasn’t a part of the plan last season, but should change up a bit this year – and if it can’t grind a tad bit, that’s a problem.

Penn State doesn’t want to make this about whose passing game is stronger.

The Purdue secondary has the experience and potential all-star parts to make its share of plays and third down stops.

– Week 1 Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Saturday

What’s Going To Happen

Penn State has more talent across the board, and it’s got a far stronger defense overall that should do a lot of bending without a ton of breaking.

Here’s the difference. Purdue will control the tempo and the game with its passing attack, and Penn State will always be chasing.

The idea will be to be more diverse offensively – to go along with the tempo that will try to keep the Boilermakers pedaling backwards – but it has to deal prove it can score enough to keep up in key moments.

Is the Purdue offense going to keep up the momentum from the second half of last season when it ripped through everyone? QB Aidan O’Connell and the passing game will always seem like they’re in control, right up until the moment they’re not.

The Penn State defense will come up with a few big stops late – and Clifford will hit on the one big deep shot – to pull this off. It won’t be a pretty win, but it’s the Big Ten road opener – take it and get out no matter how it looks.

25 Winningest Programs To Not Make The College Football Playoff

College Football Playoff: 25 winningest teams to not make the tournament

What are the 25 winningest programs to not make the College Football Playoff? Here are the top schools in the CFP era to miss out on the fun.

Cincinnati and Michigan were able to make the College Football Playoff last season. Their doors might have been blown off by Alabama and Georgia, respectively, but they at least brought some new energy to the mini-tournament.

The College Football Playoff has only been around for eight seasons and just 13 schools – Alabama, Cincinnati, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington – have played in it and just five won it all.

That means 90% of the FBS college football programs haven’t been in the post-season – at least the version that matters – since this grand experiment started.

That’s the equivalent of only 36 college basketball programs making the NCAA Tournament over the last eight years – which is a good idea, by the way, but I digress.

What college football programs were able to win a lot of games over the last eight years without the playoff payoff? 25 have won 60 or more games in eight seasons – averaging 7.5 a year, but it’s better than that considering some played a short schedule in 2020 – without getting the call.

If you didn’t get to 60 victories – no Texas, or Tennessee, or Nebraska, Michigan State, or North Carolina – you don’t get on the list. So with that, here are the 25 winningest teams to not make the College Football Playoff.

25. USC

Wins Since 2014: 60
Best Season in CFP Era: 2017, 11-3, Pac-12 champion, Rose Bowl win
Realistic Chance To Make College Football Playoff This Season: Strong

Bottom Line: USC might be last on this list, but it’s got the best shot of going to the College Football Playoff this year with Lincoln Riley and a loaded all-star team ready to roll. The 2020 team would’ve had a case for the CFP if it won the Pac-12 title to finish 6-0 – it lost to Oregon, but no unbeaten Power Five champ has ever been left out. It’s been a disappointing run since going 12-1 in 2008. That’s all about to change.
USC Preview | Top 10 Players | Schedule Analysis

T22. NC State

Wins Since 2014: 61
Best Season in CFP Era: 2017, 9-4, Sun Bowl win
Realistic Chance To Make College Football Playoff This Season: Possible

Bottom Line: The Wolfpack have been strongly consistent since Dave Doeren took over, but they haven’t been able to get a turn in the ACC Championship mix – being in the same division with Clemson has something to do with that. This should be his best team yet, and if it can somehow get by the Tigers on the road, there’s a real shot at going 12-1 with an ACC Championship and a CFP shot. That’s a massive if, though.
NC State Preview | Top 10 Players | Schedule Analysis

T22. Miami

Wins Since 2014: 61
Best Season in CFP Era: 2017, 10-3, ACC Championship loss, Orange Bowl loss
Realistic Chance To Make College Football Playoff This Season: Slim

Bottom Line: Miami flirted with something fun in 2017 with a 10-0 start before losing the last three games. However, had it beaten Clemson in the ACC Championship – it lost 38-3 – it would’ve been in the CFP. This year’s schedule is too tough for a reloading team – with road games at Clemson and Texas A&M – but new head coach Mario Cristobal might just restore the glory in a hurry.
Miami Preview | Top 10 Players | Schedule Analysis

T22. Western Michigan

Wins Since 2014: 61
Best Season in CFP Era: 2016, 13-1, MAC champion, Cotton Bowl loss
Realistic Chance To Make College Football Playoff This Season: None

Bottom Line: Now-Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck led the way to a phenomenal 13-0 regular season with a MAC title in 2016, and it still wasn’t enough to get near the College Football Playoff. The Broncos have been good ever since, but they haven’t been able to come close to repeating the glory. They’ll be strong this season, but even if they can win at Michigan State and against Pitt – and can run through the MAC unbeaten – it still shouldn’t be enough for a CFP shot.
