1. PENN STATE (6-0, 3-0)
Last week: No game. Previous: 1.
The Nittany Lions ascended to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll on an idle week thanks to losses above them in the rankings. In order to stay there, though, they’ll certainly have to earn it. Saturday night kicks off a three-game run where PSU hosts No. 19 Michigan and then visits No. 6 Ohio State and No. 19 Michigan State. We’re getting to the time in the season where the powerful East division will begin lining up big-time matchups on a near-weekly basis.
