James Franklin’s squad just slid by the Badgers by a score of 16-10 this weekend. Timely scores from Noah Cain and Jahan Dotson, and even more timely interceptions from Jaquan Brisker and Ji’Ayir Brown, sealed the victory for Penn State.

Indiana fell out of this week’s poll after getting rolled over by the Hawkeyes 34-6 on Saturday, while the Buckeyes took care of Minnesota 45-31 Thursday night.
