| ChBass | 3 | Because of that, the loss to Ohio State doesn't hurt, but Penn State needs a better win than USC to move up. They may not get it until the first round of the playoff. |

| Effective-Lead-6657 | 7 | (+2) Penn State has no good wins and will not have the opportunity for a good win. However, they've taken care of business resoundingly against the lesser competition, including Washington this past week, and their only loss is by a yard to the #2 team. Like OSU, this is a team one play away from #1. |

| mccainjames11 | 7 | Still definitely a playoff team and is beating every team on their schedule, but has yet to show they’re one of THE teams |

| mport97 | 7 | |
| mr_longfellow_deeds | 7 | |
| Mynameisdiehard | 7 | Just in a tough spot. They are definitely a good team but a very real possibility they finish with 1 loss and not chance at a conference championship game. The sad reality of today's realignment. This may work in their favor though as I think they are a shoe in with for the CFP with 1 loss. May be interesting though if there are 4 Big Ten teams fighting for spots. Their loss is a 7 point loss to the #4 team, so I updated resumes and they got jumped this week. |

| throwaway_6786 | 10 | A nice bounceback win over Washington, but I'm still not totally sold on this team, especially since their best win is over a 6-3 Illinois. They've got a few more games left, and if they win them all, they'll probably get into the CFP, but I'm not sure just how high they'll be able to go without a marquee win on their resume. |
