Bonus pick: The Sporting News has Penn State second in their CFP rankings, behind No. No. 1 Alabama. They put Penn State in the Rose Bowl against TCU.

SB Nation’s Kirk believes Ohio State will beat both Penn State and Wisconsin, so he slots the Nittany Lions into the Peach Bowl.

The ESPN writers stick with the Rose Bowl, but switch the opponent to TCU.

Palm of CBS Sports keeps Penn State into the CFP, but puts the Nittany Lions into the Rose Bowl, and a rare re-match with Ohio State.

Finally, Sports Illustrated joins the Rose Bowl party, believing Penn State will play Georgia.

Record in Rose Bowl: 1-3 (Three losses to USC, and a win over Oregon)

Record in Peach Bowl: Never played
