bretticus33 17 Well that was ugly. Penn State got annihilated by Michigan on the road. The offense mustered just 10 points and their defense was completely incapable of stoping Michigan’s rushing attack. Penn State is still a good team but they’re not among the Big 10 elite.

Dawg-Bite 14 Penn State got thoroughly beaten by Michigan, but tbh it just felt like a game similar to Oregon vs UGA. Penn State just so happened to run into what I think was and is an elite buzz saw of a team at its very best, so I’m not gonna knock Penn State way too much for that. They’re still a good team.

JustYourAvrageWorker 14 The undefeated Nittany Lions looked to answer doubters with a win in the Big House, however, they were crushed in the big house. All, however, is not lost as a 1 Loss Penn State team could still make a run at the playoffs.
MADBuc49 14 Blowout loss would normally drop them lower, but Deservedness capping some teams helps here. Still think they’re very talented

Due_Connection179 16 Last week #8 at #9 Michigan lost 17-41. The 2nd-worst performance by a ranked team this week (week 1 Oregon by the worst). Michigan aboslutely dominated Penn State from start-to-finish and Penn State had to buisness having the lead after the 1st drive in the 2nd half. They have a lot of offensive and run game defensive problems to work through before their game vs Ohio State in two weeks. Next week vs Minnesota.

Phoenix0114 16 mAyBe pEnN sTaTe iSN't aS gOOd aS wE THouGht. Penn State got walloped by top flight Michigan team. They lost by their greatest strength not being anywhere near strong enough. PSU was never going to win the B1G, and this game proved it. I want to see PSU show some grit after the loss otherwise they'll spiral out of the top 25 entirely.

dusklord1 17 Penn State was probably overrated by the human polls. The warning signs were all there. Outside of the Auburn game, they BS'ed a win against Purdue, struggled (granted, bad weather) against Northwestern, and were a little ugly against CMU. Their run defense, while seemingly stout, played against a pass-heavy Purdue team, 3 very bad G5-level teams, and an underperforming Auburn team. I can't really believe that a bona fide top 10 team would look like Iowa on offense and 2021 OSU's run defense put together. The next two weeks will answer whether or not they're a decent team that underperformed against a much better team, or just a mediocre team that won 5 games at the beginning of the season. I'd say based on that performance, they're top 15 at best. I'd guess 9-3 regular season, losing to OSU and some other random team they probably shouldn't lose to because #JustJamesFranklinThings.
