1/1 in Tier B: Shocked to see PSU this high up. Blowout win over Kent St. and running up the score against Pitt helps MoV though, likely putting them here over a relatively small sample size. |

Maybe a little higher than I'd personally put them, but they've impressed after an early scare from App State. |

The Nittany Lions have shaken the first week's jitters and looked dominant since then. I think I may be underrating Penn State. I'll have a chance to see them in person at the end of the year, and if they beat OSU, I think they could be #2 or higher at that time. |

Technically had more points in my poll than OU, but I'll never put two teams from the same conference in. Those games will always be settled during the season. |

Penn State's secondary has looked better since their opening debacle against Appalachian State. Tentatively moving them closer to my preseason rank of #4. |

Crushed Kent State, but it's Kent State. People will think it's odd that I moved a team up like this ballot is going to show for beating an overmatched team, but I start my ballots fresh every week, and I think the Appalachian State game was a fluke. |

This squad looked much more put together than they did against App State 2 weeks ago, and they continued the momentum they had against Pitt just a week ago, scoring 12 more points despite giving up an extra 4. Trace McSorely is definitely someone to watch as well. |

385, -59, 326; Penn State gets a moderate penalty because App State still shouldn't have gotten that close. The penalty will keep getting smaller as a fraction of their model score as they keep winning. |

No Change. Penn State has rebounded from their early season scare with App State. Illinois next week shouldn't be much of an issue, but with Ohio State on the horizon they could lose some focus. |

Penn State recovered from a poor showing in the opener to absolutely lay waste to Pittsburgh, which is Pitt's only loss. Three FBS games, three FBS wins. |

That overtime win vs App St is still ugly. Their next test is tOSU in 2 weeks. I'm not convinced they're really deserving of a top 10 spot, so they'll have to prove it. Ultimately they're undefeated, and have some talent, so they deserve to be ranked ahead of some of these 1 loss teams. |

Who are the real Nittany Lions: the team that struggled against App State or the team that dominated Pitt and Kent State? Maybe App State is good enough to challenge a top CFB team and this PSU squad is really good. In two weeks time I might regret having them ranked so low. |

After a shaky week 1, Penn State has looked good since, crushing Pitt and Kent State. They've got a huge game with Ohio State in two weeks that could determine the Big Ten East.  |
