Bowl Predictions 2012: 7 Reasons Penn State Is Destined for the Rose Bowl

 In a Big 10 Conference where nobody seems to want to live up to expectations, yes you Wisconsin and Michigan State, there is one team rising to the top. That team is the No. 16 Penn State Nittany Lions, 8-1 overall and 5-0 in the Leaders Division of the Big 10.

While Penn State's wins have been far from impressive there is no debating the fact that they are sitting comfortably atop the Leaders Division of the Big 10 with their sights set on a 4th Big Ten Championship.  Penn State's path to Lucas Oil Stadium for the Inaugural Big 10 Championship is not easy, facing Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin in the coming weeks.  If you're worried about Penn State winning any of those games and going to the Inaugural Big 10 Championship game, don't be!
