After another comfortable victory and no upsets of the teams ahead of them, Penn State remained in their place in the rankings.
The Nittany Lions stayed fourth in the Associated Press and moved up to the fourth spot in the Coaches Poll after their dominant 49-10 win at Purdue. Big Ten teams in the rankings include top-ranked Oregon, second-ranked Ohio State, Indiana, who ranks fifth in both the AP and Coaches Polls, and Illinois, who re-entered the AP Poll at No. 24. Penn State faces their toughest remaining test at Minnesota Saturday afternoon at 3:30 PM.
