Penn State is still in play for a Bowl Game this season, but it needs to begin picking up the pace. The team has been stuck on three wins for about a month now, and they could be facing an uphill battle if they don’t get one this week.

The Nittany Lions need to get to six wins to get a Bowl Game bid, so they will need to win a Big Ten game at some point if they want to accomplish that. They’ll have a great opportunity this weekend when they take on the Michigan Wolverines at The Big House.

Here are some major publications’ Bowl Game predictions for Penn State.

USA TODAY

Shockingly, Penn State was dropped from these projections. This is the first time all year a publication has the program projected to win fewer than six games.
