It is the first Cotton Bowl appearance for Penn State since 1975, when the-then 9-2 Lions beat Baylor to finish the season ranked number 7. The Tigers are the highest ranked Group of 5 opponent, which is how they made it into this bowl against the third Big Ten team in the NY6.
Headed into the final weekend (save one game) of the college football regular season saw the Nittany Lions on the sidelines, waiting to find out whether they’d be able to squeak into a New Year’s Six bowl game, and who their opponent was.
