Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica and Greg McElroy previewed Michigan and Penn State’s top 10 battle Thursday morning on Always College Football. They discussed betting lines and which team they’d take.

Both analysts agreed that the game was overshadowed by other games in the weekend, including Alabama-Tennessee. McElroy picked Penn State to win, as did Fallica.

The Bear went on to explain why he believes the game has been overshadowed and pushed to the background as well.

“I would agree with you in taking Penn State,” Fallica said. “I wonder if this game is overshadowed because I don’t think we really know how good either of these teams are. They both have perfect records but Penn State’s faced the 90th ranked schedule in the country, Michigan’s faced the 95th ranked schedule in the country. The Penn State win at Auburn, like okay Auburn’s terrible. Michigan okay you beat Iowa, I don’t think we really know how good either of these teams are. I think the best unit on the field is the Penn State defense.”

Someone has to win. We’ll learn if Michigan or Penn State is truly a title contender come Saturday afternoon.
