T-Thugs 4 Penn State makes a big jump in my poll by knocking off Iowa, which amazingly is a better win than anything Clemson, Ohio State, or Alabama has.

Charlemagne42 6 (238 + 3 -> 241; 7 -> 6) Penn State quietly wins again. Michigan next week, then Michigan State. Later this season, the Ohio State game seems like it will decide the East. (+2)

chrisb19 7 I can never get a read on James Franklin as to being a good coach or just a lucky one. Anyone, Penn St is undefeated and yet I don't think they're actually THAT good. But it's hard to say. Ready for the B1G conference play to start.

TheFlyingBoat 7 I am not sold on Penn St as a team, but they are 6-0 with some decent wins, so I'll leave them at 7 for now.
TheJeemTeam 7 1/2 in Tier C: PSU is undefeated with a dominant Defense. Oregon has 1 loss with a great Defense. PSU gets the edge.

ACCBiggz 10 Penn State currently sits behind some one-loss SEC teams due to a lack of a signature win. Iowa may be that for some, but I am hesitant. Ohio State and Michigan await and as long as they don't lose they will leapfrog those 1-loss teams when the time comes.

_Brazenhead_ 13 Struggled to maintain consistency against a now-unranked Iowa squad. Still able to win on the road against a good team but can't really justify them any higher than this.
crownebeach 13 I'm not sure if Ricky Rahne just freezes up when calling big games, but PSU absolutely could not move the ball -- if two of the Lions' drives hasn't started inside the Iowa 35-yard line, they probably lose this game. This team is too talented to keep stumbling like this, even against good defenses.
