INDIANAPOLIS -- After five 10-win seasons at Penn State but no College Football Playoff appearances, coach James Franklin understands that the bar has been raised, especially with the CFP expanding to 12 teams this season.
Franklin, entering his 11th season at the university, led the Nittany Lions to a Big Ten title in 2016 and six AP top-20 finishes, including No. 13 last season. The team is 21-5 over the past two seasons with two New Year's Six bowl appearances but hasn't beaten Ohio State or Michigan since 2020.
