DALLAS, TEXAS — The No. 6 Penn State Nittany Lions will host the No. 11 SMU Mustangs in the first round of the College Football Playoff at Beaver Stadium. This historic matchup marks SMU’s first-ever CFP appearance and showcases their resurgence under head coach Rhett Lashlee.
Penn State, led by their dominant defense and consistent ground attack, enters as favorites. However, SMU’s high-powered offense, spearheaded by quarterback Preston Stone, makes them a dangerous opponent.
Kickoff details and ticket information are forthcoming as both teams prepare for a pivotal postseason clash.
