Penn State will be heading to the Rose Bowl for the fourth time since joining the Big Ten to close out the 2022 season, and they will be taking on Pac-12 champion Utah. The Rose Bowl matchup was confirmed Sunday following the release of the College Football Playoff matchups and the rest of the New Years Six bowl pairings for this year’s bowl season.
Penn State finished off a 10-2 regular season with a dominant run through its November portion of the schedule. The only two teams Penn State lost to this season were Michigan and Ohio State. Both the Wolverines and Buckeyes were selected to play in this year’s College Football Playoff, which left the Big Ten’s spot in the Rose Bowl vacant. Penn State was the only other team ranked in the College Football Playoff selection committee’s rankings at the end of the season, thus making them the obvious pick to represent the Big Ten in Pasadena.
