College football analysts are examining scenarios that could bring the Pittsburgh Panthers and Penn State Nittany Lions together in a postseason bowl matchup. The in-state rivals, who last met in the regular season in 2019, could potentially cross paths again during bowl season depending on how the remainder of the season unfolds for both programs.
Pitt competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference while Penn State represents the Big Ten, meaning any meeting would have to occur in a bowl game rather than regular-season play. Bowl tie-ins and College Football Playoff selections will ultimately determine whether the Pennsylvania programs share the field again this winter.
Both teams have storied histories and passionate fan bases, making a potential bowl matchup a highly anticipated event for college football followers in the region and nationally.
