What channel is Penn State vs. Iowa on today? Time, TV schedule for Week 6 Big Ten football game
Of the 30 meetings between Iowa and Penn State all-time, this weekend’s iteration is perhaps the most historic given where the two programs currently rank nationally.
This year marks the first since 2015 when Iowa’s been ranked inside the top-10 and the No. 3 ranking in front of the Hawkeyes is their highest since Week 13 of the same season. No. 4 Penn State meanwhile, has been ranked as high as No. 2 under coach James Franklin, and are no strangers to the top-five.

But it’s the juncture at which this game is taking place that makes it particularly special.
Stat from @ralphDrussoAP: When No. 4 Penn State visits No. 3 Iowa Saturday, it will be the first top-five game between Big Ten teams not involving Ohio State since No. 4 Michigan beat No. 2 Penn State 34-8 in 1997.https://t.co/fcdA1d6Ae9

Eliminate Michigan from the above equation, and the matchup gets even more historic.
