With Saturday’s loss Penn State maintains control of their fate in the Big Ten Leaders Division. With two games to play the Nittany Lions have a one game edge in the loss column over Wisconsin, and a two game lead over Ohio State. A win next week by Penn State would eliminate Ohio State from the Big Ten championship game picture and set up a possible must-win situation in the regular season finale at Wisconsin.
Here is an updated look at Penn State’s Leaders Division clinching scenarios:
- Penn State clinches with two wins
- Penn State clinches with one win and one Wisconsin loss
To break it down another way:
- If Penn State loses to Ohio State and Wisconsin, Wisconsin wins
- If Penn State beats Ohio State and loses to Wisconsin, Wisconsin wins
- If Penn State loses to Ohio State and beats Wisconsin, Penn State wins
- If Penn State beats Ohio State and Wisconsin loses to Illinois, Penn State wins
