On Tuesday, the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2024 season were released and the Penn State Nittany Lions (7-1, 4-1) are as of now in a strong spot to find themselves not only in the playoffs but hosting a first round playoff game in December.
The Nittany Lions as of Tuesday's rankings are the No. 6 in the first college football playoff ranking but would instead be the No. 7 seed in the playoffs as the current No. 9 team, BYU would automatically be the No. 4 team as they are currently projected to win the Big 12.
The No. 7 seed would currently project the Nittany Lions to host the No. 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first round at Beaver Stadium.
