Where does Penn State rank in the updated Coaches Poll?
Penn State remains undefeated and ranked No. 3 in the Coaches Poll following Saturday night’s 28-13 win over Wisconsin. Before the season, all eyes were on this middle stretch of games for the Nittany Lions. So far, they’ve earned two quality away games. But now, with Ohio State (No. 4 in the Coaches Poll) set to come to Beaver Stadium this upcoming Saturday, Penn State head coach James Franklin and his staff have everything to play for.
Of course, Penn State isn’t the only Big Ten team that remains undefeated. On Saturday, the No. 1 ranked team in the country, Oregon, beat up on an Illinois squad that was previously ranked No. 21 in the poll but has now dropped down to No. 24 following a second loss. The Ducks nearly doubled the amount of yards compared to the Fighting Illini, taking a commanding 35-3 lead into halftime and never looking back. Oregon now travels to Michigan (5-3) for another key game in the conference this upcoming weekend.
But don’t forget about the Indiana Hoosiers. Despite missing their starting quarterback, Kurtis Rourke, the Hoosiers had no issues getting past a Washington Huskies team that’s now 4-4 on the season, winning 31-17. Now 8-0 on the season, the Hoosiers remain at No. 13 in the Coaches Poll. They have games against Michigan State (Nov. 2), Michigan (Nov. 9) and Ohio State (Nov. 23) before facing rival Purdue to end the season.
