The Akron Zips head into the house that Joe Pa built next week for some B1G on MAC action. While most people probably don't think the Zips have a shot, Yahoo's Pat Forde thinks this could actually be one of the most intriguing games of this year.

Akron is much better than it was in 2011 and 2012, and even if the Zips are overrated, there's no denying the team is on the rise. Meanwhile, Penn State will be returning from a game in IReland the week before. Travel induced fatigue is a key ingredient of a trap game.
