Blazeth 5 I know "quality loss" is a meme, but it really wasn't a bad loss, and they still have better wins than who I have directly below them for the most part.

_Brazenhead_ 6 A good team with some good wins, once thought to be a playoff caliber team. Loss to Minnesota is not as bad as some might think, since I've ranked Minnesota 5th now. It wasn't a blow out loss and was competitive. Given the attached-at-the-hip sense I have of Georgia, Florida, Auburn, and Oregon, it really came down to comparing them head-to-head with Georgia, the head of that series. And Georgia's loss is bad where as Penn State's is to a now-top-5 team.

GenialGiant 6 Penn State's loss was a rough one, but they still have a shot to bounce back and make the playoffs.

hokies220 6 (Computer #6: Auburn) PSU is still a fantastic team and shouldn't fall for losing a close game on the road to another fantastic team. But I bet Bama will still laughably be ranked ahead.

moistats_ 7 I will not punish Penn State too much of the close loss against Minnesota. I do think the win streak from Iowa to Michigan State was impressive, all games score an A-grade by ESPN FPI standards. This team is all-around remarkable and has potential to make some noise against Ohio State. The thing holding them back is simply conference affiliation due to less opportunities (Georgia has more peak wins).

peachios 9 decent/big win against michigan is holding them up pretty well, and a loss to an undefeated team as well, seem like they shouldn't drop far either.
