Colton3690	5	Penn State has been lurking so far this year, despite putting up monster numbers on offense. They started slow against Illinois, and the defense is a bit of a concern up to this point.

Miami_da_U	10	So far they've just out-talented their opponents. I wasn't impressed with their win over App St, And even this game vs Illinois was very close until the 4th qtr where PSU far superior talent took over. The problem with that is they are not more talented than tOSU. I expect a heavy dose of the run game with Miles Sanders. And they're lucky Bosa is out. McSorely has a disappointing ypa and Comp% but his TD% is solid. He's gotta give his best game to win this one.

T-Thugs	20	Penn State still is lower than they probably should be in my poll due to their lack of a standout win. Best win is over Pittsburgh (not very good). They will have lots of opportunities to move up soon though, starting with a game vs Ohio State this week. A win there would jump them very far up the poll.├é┬á
