fadingthought 5 Iowa after dark is a scary place. Great tough conference win for the Lions. People will point to last second heroics, but when it comes to conference play, winning is hard and shouldn't be overlooked.

Jpkun 5 -0-. Played a tight game in Iowa under the voodoo magic. Barkley is a beast. He made up over half of PSU's total yardage and hurdled and beasted through tackles. Without Barkley, would have definitely lost that game. He is a game changer and my top pick of Heisman so far.

nickknx865 6 This one was also kind of tough too. If USC and Penn State, I'd probably pick Penn State here. You could make the argument that USC played better against an opponent of the same or slightly better caliber with Cal, but this is more personal preference.

Bukowskified 7 Penn State needed every single second to pull out a victory over Iowa. Good win, but not impressive enough to warrant a top 5 spot.

wazoheat 7 <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->The defense is scary, and the offense can run a 2 minute drill apparently.
WhiteBaseCoat 7 PLRCOAT: 6.063. This is the 5th team to have four FBS wins under their belt, which is good for them, because they just earned pretty much their only good win. 5.125 Iowa (#21) could just as easily be up here if that game went differently in the final seconds; Penn State's other wins are 0-pointers Akron and Pitt and 1-pointer Georgia State. Their stock should rise as they enter conference play and as Pitt (theoretically) starts winning some FBS games.

Knightro2011 9 Penn State has not played a great schedule thus far, but the team from Happy Valley has over 500 yards offense in 3 of those 4 games. Penn State vs Iowa was their worst game thus far from an efficiency standpoint.

nuxenolith 9 Penn State is being vastly overrated in other polls.  Their only game against an even remotely tough opponent to date showed an incredibly shaky performance that came down to the final play of the game.

T-Thugs 10 They weren't super impressive in their win over Iowa, but they have been dominant in their other games, and pulling out a win in a tough road atmosphere is always big. They should be 6-0 heading into their games against Michigan and Ohio State.
