sleemoislife 7 This may be the one I have completely wrong. PSU has played dominant all year and beaten some decent teams in the process, just not great teams. If they win on the road at OSU next week it will be a big jump for me in the polls. For now, I just see them as slightly below OSU and UofM in the BIG10.

throwaway_6786 7 Penn State did what they were expected to do and crushed UMass. They benefit from Texas's schedule getting weaker and Oregon losing to jump up two spots. The Iowa win looks much better, though the WVU win lost some luster. Now comes their first big challenge: The Buckeyes in Columbus.

tisofold 7 Somewhat weak schedule, but have done very well against it. Some questionable quarters of football but many more dominant quarters.

CallingUagoatUgoat 18 0 SP+ T-10 or T-25 wins. Penn State will get their first big opportunity to make a statement when they play the Buckeyes this weekend. If they can pull off the win, you can expect them to shoot up the rankings. If not, they'll have to wait until Michigan to show us they are as good as advertised.
