The eyes of the college football world are all on State College this weekend as No. 3 Penn State preps to host No. 4 Ohio State. The stakes are enormous as the outcome will have ramifications for teams in the Big Ten and across the country in terms of how the final score impacts the College Football Playoff race. Kickoff is set for Noon ET on FOX.

A week later, lovers of the sport will turn their attention toward Beaver Stadium for a different reason. They won’t be following a top-five matchup next Saturday, of course. But, they will get to see one of the greatest spectacles and environments in all of college sports: The Penn State White Out game. Over the summer, the Lions selected their Nov. 9 matchup with Washington as the one they wanted to ask all fans to dress in white gear for the game. Kickoff will be at either 3:30 p.m. or 8 p.m. ET. A television designation has not yet been announced. But, FanDuel and DraftKings are offering an early look at the point spread.

What is the early Penn State-Washington point spread?

The former lists the Lions as a 13.5-point favorite for the first meeting between the two schools since the 2017 Fiesta Bowl. The latter calls head coach James Franklin’s side a 14-point favorite ahead of the game. Only FanDuel lists a total, which sits at 46.5 points at this early juncture.

Washington enters a Saturday showdown with USC at 4-4. It has lost two in a row and three of its last four. The Trojans are a short-road favorite. How that game and how PSU-OSU goes will determine if the spread is the same or different when the oddsmakers reopen the betting market for it on Sunday.

Until then, we have all the details you need to know to follow the Lions-Buckeyes game before worrying about Washington below.

Ohio State at Penn State Game time and details

The Buckeyes own a 24-14 all-time edge in a series that dates back to 1912. Ohio State has won seven straight contests. After three games were decided by a total of five points between 2016 and 2018, OSU has won the last five meetings by at least a touchdown.

Here are the details for this year’s matchup:
