Charlemagne42 1 Slides up to provisional #1, because they're the team that has shown the fewest signs of struggling with inferior opponents so far. Conference play provides just a few tests for the Nittany Lions, but they'll be brutal: #4 Oregon to finish September, and #5 Ohio State in November.

Doogitywoogity 6 Slow starts seem to be the MO of this squad. I don’t think Villanova is a bad team either, they’re a solid FCS team. Slow starts don’t mean that I think teams are bad, I just worry how they’ll do against top teams. We’ll get good clarification soon against Oregon.

Zef_Apollo 9 For the love of God, I cannot understand why Penn State is in anyone's top 5 let alone top 2 and receiving #1 votes. They've looked good, sure, but have not played a single team with a pulse. They'll rise through the rankings as they keep winning, especially if they beat Oregon in 2 weeks but until then...kind of outskirts of the top 10 area.
