Penn State football checked in at No. 10 in this week’s AP Top 25 poll following its resounding victory over Kent State at Beaver Stadium.
The Nittany Lions move up one spot from their week three ranking of No. 11 after No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 7 Auburn lost to BYU and LSU, respectively. They’re back in the top ten after falling from the tenth spot following the first week of the season, but are tied with Washington for the tenth spot.
Additionally, Penn State stayed in the top ten of the Coaches’ Poll for the fourth consecutive week, coming in at No. 9 in that ranking.
No. 10 Penn State (3-0) will take on Illinois on Friday to open its Big Ten schedule. The game will kick off at 9 p.m.
In the most upsetting turn of events, Mikey graduated from Penn State with a digital & print journalism degree in the spring of 2020. He covered Penn State football and served as an editor for Onward State from 2018 until his graduation. Mikey is from Bedminster, New Jersey, so naturally, he spends lots of time yelling about all the best things his home state has to offer. Mikey also loves to play golf, but he sucks at it because golf is really hard.
