The Week 8 matchup of the Penn State Nittany Lions and Ohio State Buckeyes is almost certain to factor into the College Football Playoff. That's why "College GameDay" is once again in Columbus, Ohio.
According to ESPN's Playoff Predictor, the winner of Saturday's game has at least a 67% chance to reach the playoff. With both allowing under 10 points per game, this could be a defensive game. According to ESPN Stats & Information, it's the first game between AP top-10-ranked teams allowing 10 or fewer points since 2006. Penn State's defense ranks first in total yards per game and efficiency and is second in defensive FPI and points per game allowed.
