| OldCoaly | 4 | 2OT loss to my top team. Stellar effort from the defense, only allowed 17 points in regulation, 3 in the first half. Oregon went 6/18 on 3rd down. Defense could take PSU far/ |
| PeteyNice | 4 | |
| SufferingfOrLife | 4 | -1 I still think they are a good team, but I don't know what to truly think because James Franklin seemingly can't win a big game, and Drew Allar just isn't that good of a QB but I like the rest of the team and think James Franklin is a good head coach, so it's tough to drop down the rankings that far. |

| redrumsoxLoL | 10 | Another Top 10 opponent another loss for the Nittany Lions. It really goes beyond pure randomness how much they struggle against fellow elite competition. Under James Franklin, they just cannot get it done and it seems to be more of a pattern than coincidence at this point. I still have them on the fringes of the Top 10 because they manage to take down good but not great teams. |

| Doogitywoogity | 14 | A close loss to a top team, but they’re being relatively heavily penalized. Franklin losing another big game is not shocking, but also not good. Drew Allar is not good enough, simply put. He’s been near the bottom almost every week in QBR for the B1G, that is not sustainable for a team that wants to be elite. |
| Euphoric_Relative_13 | 14 | I think I've gone on like sixteen rants to multiple different people since last night, either online or in-person. I really don't want to talk about it anymore. But with how putrid that offense was for 3/4 of the game, it doesn't matter that we only lost in 2OT, because the offense shit the bed again for us to lose anyway. |

| Zef_Apollo | 17 | I don't know what to do with Penn State, tbh. I think they are as good as they are every year which is the first team outside the top 10 - never to be good enough to beat a top 10 team. They'll move back up when they play more teams but they have 0 P4 wins this season. |

| Xy13 | 19 | They've played one real game, and had every single advantage (home white out, off a bye week, experienced team vs younger team, etc), and they lost. Team still looked pretty good, and it was a one score game. I expect them to stay ~10-16, even if they beat INDI, unless they beat OSU / teams above lose. |

| quantum_jedi | 19 | Really tough loss for the Nittany Lions... Drew Allar just doesn't seem to have any clutch in him, but this is still a really good team. They are being punished in these rankings for having no wins over top 100 teams and that trend will continue next when Penn State travels to Los Angeles to play a horrific UCLA squad. |

| FrontRunner51 | 21 | -14; Played wretched offense for 3 quarters. For now they're penalized for an otherwise easy schedule and unimpressive offense, despite the very close loss to Oregon that could have gone either way at the end. |
