Penn State’s path to the College Football Playoff may have become significantly easier after just one week.The Nittany Lions dominated Marshall 45-0, while Michigan needed a controversial extra second and a last-play Hail Mary to survive Western Michigan. Washington also struggled to pull away from Washington State, raising new questions about Penn State’s most difficult remaining road games.Zach Seyko and Pat Koerbler (https://x.com/Poerbler) break down why the schedule suddenly looks more manageable, what Michigan’s offensive issues could mean for the October matchup in Ann Arbor and whether an 11-1 Penn State team would be a playoff lock.Plus, Matt Campbell provided injury updates on Gabe Burkle, Alex Tatsch and LaVar Arrington II ahead of Penn State’s road game against Temple.Has your Penn State season prediction changed after Week 1?Photo credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectBecome an every-dayer!
