The College Football Playoff committee released their latest College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night and the Penn State Nittany Lions have inched closer to the top 10. The Nittany Lions entered the evening at No. 14 in the rankings and jumped to No.11 in the process, meaning if the Nittany Lions can win out their two remaining games, they should enter the top 10 and have a very strong shot at making a New Years Six bowl game.

The Nittany Lions made the three-spot jump after a 30-0 win over the Maryland Terrapins this past weekend, a game that was headlined by the Nittany Lions' dominating defensive effort, only allowing 136 total yards to the Maryland offense.
