10. Wisconsin, November 10, University Park, PA

Depending on how well Clemson and Alabama are playing, this matchup could be the top two teams in the country.

The chances of Penn State going undefeated are slim due to their youth at a few positions, and this Wisconsin game will likely be their only loss of the season. If Penn State loses this game, I expect them to bounce back and win the Big Ten Championship a few weeks later against Wisconsin.

Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor ran for almost 2,000 yards as a freshman and will only get better in his sophomore season. Their starting quarterback Alex Hornibrook also returns, but he is a turnover-prone quarterback.

Penn State will have come off an exhausting Michigan game and will be unable to slow down Taylor. This will be a very low-scoring game, and Penn State should not drop too far in the rankings due to this loss.

Final: Wisconsin 10, Penn State 6 (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten)
