Week 4 of the college football season is almost here.

On Friday night, Penn State travels to take on Illinois to kick off the week for the Big Ten. But, do people see Nittany Lions potentially making the College Football Playoff at the end of the season?

According to 6 FOX Sports college football analysts, that answer would be no.

They do, however, love Ohio State — just not as much as Alabama:

Each of the 6 have Alabama winning the title, but they all also have one B1G team making it to the playoff as well: Ohio State.

The Buckeyes and Nittany Lions are scheduled to meet at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 29 at Beaver Stadium. It will certainly be an electric atmosphere, but both teams have to win in Week 4 to make sure the game is that much more meaningful.

Here are each of the picks by the analysts:

*Italicized team is predicted title winner*

Robert Smith: Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Washington
