PSU needs a miracle going into final weekend of play

Penn State’s loss to Iowa today all but sealed their fate going into the final weekend of play. The Lions sit in eighth, trailing 6th placed Purdue by 2.5 and seventh placed Michigan by one. Unfortunately, the Boilermakers own the tiebreaker over PSU so the Lions can only get in by sweeping first place Minnesota while hoping that Purdue drops all three to Illinois, an unlikely scenario at best.
