Penn State bowl projections: Where could the Nittany Lions land after Minnesota win?

Penn State is in a much better place than it was a week ago after a blowout victory in the White Out over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The 45-17 win came after a loss to Michigan and just before the Nittany Lions take on the Ohio State Buckeyes at home. The victory has also impacted the outside world’s view on the program.

The Nittany Lions are now the No. 13 team in the country in the Associated Press Top 25 and are projected for high level bowl games almost across the board.

Where are they expected to end up? Find out below.
