The Penn State Nittany Lions and the Wisconsin Badgers will meet from Madison tonight for a prime-time affair.
Penn State comes into the contest with a perfect 6-0 record. That perfect record has them ranked third in the nation.
The Penn State faithful believe this is the best team they have had in two decades. Regular season success has not been an issue in the James Franklin era. The issues for Penn State have come in winning the big games.
With the playoff expansion this season, Penn State has no excuses not to make the playoffs. It would take an epic collapse for Penn State not to punch a playoff ticket, as they can afford to suffer a loss and will still make the playoffs.
The Nittany Lions know they will be tested in a hostile environment tonight. Penn State will host Ohio State next weekend, and may not have their full attention on the Badgers.
