Fresh off a comeback win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship, the Penn State Nittany Lions found themselves snubbed from the College Football Playoff. Up next is a trip to Pasadena to play in the Rose Bowl.
Penn State, winners of nine straight, will match up with the USC Trojans, another one of the hottest teams in the nation. Despite finishing with three total losses, the Trojans ended the season on an eight-game win streak.
Oddsmakers in Vegas are high on the Trojans and have set them as the favorites. Currently, the Nittany Lions are seven-point underdogs in the Rose Bowl.
