College football schedules are generally broken into their conference and non-conference schedule and this is true with Penn State with its Big 10 and non-conference schedule. Generally the Big 10 schedule has its reliable opponents you know will field good or very good groups and establish intriguing match-ups. The actual non-conference schedule is really a wild card since it changes every year, and generally this includes a few cupcakes that are simply schedule fillers.

In 2010 there's 1 premier match-up in the non-conference schedule, and this is the Penn State versus Alabama game on September eleven. This can be a dream matchup for PSU enthusiasts, and it is going to be a premier match up within the college football season in general. This game has it all, history, conference versus conference drama (Big Ten versus Sec), big name coaches (Joe Paterno and Nick Saban), and the game day scene ought to be incredible. This is not merely the very best non-conference game on the Penn State schedule, but the very best on their schedule period.

Nevertheless there are many additional excellent games on the PSU schedule as well. The most anticipated Big 10 game could well be the actual Penn State versus Ohio State football game. The Ohio State Buckeyes will likely be ranked in the top five or ten once the season begins. This game is actually later within the season so things might change, but it is very likely that Penn State and Ohio State will be two of the best teams within the Big 10, and this game frequently chooses who the actual champion is and who goes to the Rose Bowl. Its a safe bet that Penn State vs Illinois tickets at home will be tough to obtain.

Besides Ohio State, the game in-conference which intrigues me personally the most is actually vs . Michigan State. For some reason, Michigan State is really a thorn for PSU, and they’ve destroyed numerous a good season for the Nittany Lions. Here is the final game of the year, and I see there being something big on the line for each teams when they meet in late November in Happy Valley. I hate to express this, but this really is is going to be a nerve racking game with regard to Penn State enthusiasts fans who are able to get a Penn State vs Michigan State ticket.

There are other great games on the schedule, especially in conference. Penn State versus Michigan and Penn State versus Iowa are both important, significant, and fascinating games. However the overall game which probably will be one of the most talked about as much for the location as the game is the Penn State vs Indiana game at FedEx field outside Washington DC on November 20. This really is basically the street game with regard to Penn State that has been transformed by Indiana into a PSU home game because they get a large paycheck, and it moves the game much closer to the Penn State alumni base. The atmosphere is going to be excellent for Nittany fans.

Presently there definitely are additional games on the schedule versus Minnesota, Northwestern, even Temple that'll be closely anticipated, however the Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan State games are the ones I’ll be looking forward to the most.
