    Week 10 of the college football season will culminate in a can’t-miss Big Ten showdown between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions. This game, which kicks off Saturday’s action, is extremely important, with the Buckeyes looking for a second loss and the Nittany Lions focused on staying undefeated.

    No. 3 Penn State has a perfect 7-0 record after beating Wisconsin 28-13 in Week 9. Nittany Lions starting quarterback Drew Allar suffered a left knee injury in the first half of the game against Wisconsin, forcing him out . Sophomore backup Beau Pribula replaced Allar and completed 11 of 13 passes with a touchdown, securing the win. The uncertainty surrounding Allar’s availability for the upcoming game against Ohio State adds unpredictability to this highly anticipated matchup.

    No. 4 Ohio State faced a challenging match against Nebraska in Week 9 and narrowly won 21-17. Despite the win, the Buckeyes’ performance fell short of expectations following their loss to Oregon two weeks earlier. Quarterback Will Howard played a key role in securing the much-needed win by throwing for 221 yards along with three touchdowns and one interception.

    USA TODAY Sports provides the latest updates, highlights, wild plays, analysis and more throughout the game. Follow along.

    The first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff era would already be full of uncertainties, as nothing like this has ever been attempted in college football’s top division. The advent of mega-conferences with 16 to 18 members and no divisions adds even more random elements to the equation. Indeed, it won’t be long before league officials decide that the way conference champions are chosen may need to be reexamined, especially given the weight the playoff format places on conference championships for seeding purposes. — Eddie Timanus
