Penn State fans chanted that they want No. 1 ranked Alabama during Saturday’s over Michigan.

Penn State, ranked No. 2 in this week’s Associated Press college football poll, will play Ohio State on Saturday in Columbus at 3:30 p.m.

The teams are scheduled to play during the regular season but could meet in the playoff. The last time the teams met was in 2011 when No. 3 Alabama left State College, Pa. with a 27-11 win over the 23rd ranked Nittany Lions.

Alabama leads the series with Penn State, 10-5.
