T-Thugs 4 Penn State is 5-0 with blowout wins over Iowa (4-1) and West Virginia (4-1). I don't think those teams are as good as Notre Dame for Ohio State but that's an impressive resume.

Due_Connection179 7 Last Week #6 at Northwestern : Won 41 - 13 For people not watching, you might think that this was just a slow start then Penn State turned it on in the 2nd half. But what actually happened was Penn State just couldn't finish drives in the first half for points, then fixed that problem in the 2nd half. Next Week is a Bye Week

throwaway_6786 8 That was a poor first half, but Penn State did dominate the second half against a bad Northwestern team. Penn State is saved from dropping by one thing: WVU and Iowa are both 4-1, and few teams in CFB can say they've given two P5 teams their only loss by this point. Still, the Lions will have to play better if they want to take down OSU/Michigan.
