Penn State has moved up in the penultimate College Football Playoff Rankings following their 44-7 win over Maryland this past weekend.
The Nittany Lions have moved up one spot from No. 4 to No. 3 spot, though due to fellow Big Ten and Big Ten Conference Championship game opponent, Oregon being ranked No. 1, the Nittany Lions would be the No. 5 seed in the College Football Playoffs.
