Oregon vs. Penn State live stream, where to watch, TV channel, Big Ten Championship Game odds, pick

No. 1 Oregon and No. 3 Penn State will meet at Lucas Oil Stadium in a Huge Ten Championship Recreation matchup few might have predicted this season. In spite of everything, the Huge Ten has lengthy been a convention dominated by Ohio State and Michigan, and when the league dropped divisions, most had been sure these could be the 2 packages reaching this recreation.

As a substitute, it is an Oregon program navigating the Huge Ten for the primary time — a program that occurs to be the one undefeated FBS crew remaining. Standing between the Geese and a Huge Ten title is a Penn State crew that was largely written off as a Huge Ten contender after shedding to Ohio State earlier within the season. 

The Nittany Lions have lengthy been labeled a program unable to recover from the hump. Effectively, Michigan removed that hump for them final week.

Whereas each groups are firmly entrenched within the CFP’s 12-team discipline, the No. 1 seed and a bye is reachable for each. If Oregon wins, it will stay at No. 1, and Penn State might leap to No. 1 with a win over the Geese even when No. 2 Texas beats Georgia.

In different phrases, there’s a complete hell of loads to play for in Indianapolis Saturday night time.

Oregon vs. Penn State: Have to know

Oregon might do one thing solely Michigan State has executed earlier than: With a win on this recreation, Oregon would boast victories over Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State in the identical season. All of their first 12 months within the Huge Ten! Just one different program has executed that, and it is Michigan State. The humorous half? Michigan State has executed it 5 instances! Most just lately in 2015, however the Spartans did it in 1951, 1965, 1966 and 1999 as nicely. Bear in mind, Penn State did not be a part of the league till 1993, so these first thrice included nonconference video games.

Oregon is considered one of 5 groups to achieve the convention championship in its first season in a brand new league this 12 months: It appears there’s worth in unfamiliarity? The brand new blood throughout the nation has discovered loads of success of their new houses this season. Arizona State (Huge 12), Military (American), SMU (ACC) and Texas (SEC) are all enjoying in convention title video games this week after becoming a member of their new leagues this season. 

Penn State is 4-12 all-time in opposition to the No. 1 crew within the AP High 25: I do know 4-12 does not seem to be a very good document, however remember No. 1 groups do not lose fairly often. That is why they’re No. 1. Successful 25% of these 16 video games is healthier than most packages. Whereas the Nittany Lions have loved success, there hasn’t been a lot these days. The final win over a No. 1 crew got here in 1990 in opposition to Notre Dame. They have not executed it since becoming a member of the Huge Ten.

Oregon vs. Penn State prediction, picks

I’ve seen loads of shock from followers and media alike that Oregon is just a 3.5-point favourite within the recreation, however the unfold is smart to me. There’s far an excessive amount of consideration paid to Penn State’s lack of ability to beat Ohio State and it overshadows the very fact the Nittany Lions are a genuinely good crew! But when I am taking a facet on this recreation, I am going with the Geese. Whereas each groups are evenly-matched throughout the board, there’s one spot that Oregon has an enormous benefit: at receiver. Penn State’s complete passing assault is constructed via Tyler Warren, and he is superior, however what if Oregon takes him away? What is the counter? Oregon has loads of choices, and it needs to be sufficient to make the distinction. Choose: Oregon -3.5
