The Big Ten Championship Game has concluded as the top-ranked Oregon Ducks were able to remain undefeated as they secured a 45-37 home win over the third-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. The Ducks were able to dominate as Dillon Gabriel was able to throw for four passing touchdowns and keep the Nittany Lions at bay.
The Nittany Lions (11-2) are now going to have to wait for tomorrow’s Selection Show to see if they are going to be in the College Football Playoff, but should be able to do just that. The Ducks (13-0) looked outstanding in this game and should be the top seed in the CFP.
