Aside from select ACC Atlantic members, there might not be anyone on the planet happier about the trend of ditching college football divisions than Penn State coach James Franklin. Over the last six full seasons (not counting the COVID year of 2020), Franklin's Nittany Lions are 15-3 against teams from the Big Ten West, 21-4 in nonconference play and 21-3 against Big Ten East foes not named Ohio State or Michigan.
They're just 3-9 against the Buckeyes and Wolverines in that span, however, and life in the East has required them to play both teams every year. They have been pretty easily the third-best team in the Big Ten, but they have just one Big Ten championship game appearance to show for it, and that was nearly seven years ago.
