New Penn State-Ole Miss Peach Bowl prediction is in

Penn State news, notes, and updates for Dec. 26 include a closer look at the Peach Bowl, headlines of the day, and more.

It’s time to dive into Tuesday’s top tweets and headlines about the Nittany Lions and college athletics.

We start with one of two looks at the Peach Bowl. ESPN’s Bill Connelly has a key storyline for every bowl game remaining. One of them is the No. 10 Nittany Lions matchup with No. 10 Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl, of course. Kickoff is set for Noon ET on Dec. 30 in Atlanta, Ga. ESPN will air the game.

“These two teams are both mostly intact — PSU end Chop Robinson is for now the only major opt-out — but this one’s huge for narrative purposes,” Connelly writes. “Penn State has won 21 games in a row against teams not named Michigan or Ohio State. With a number of potential star juniors, 2024 will be a huge season for the Nittany Lions. The same goes for Ole Miss, with losses only to Alabama and Georgia this season. Either or both of these teams should see playoff expectations with next year’s expanded CFP.”
