Penn State football checked in at No. 13 in this week’s AP Poll following its nail-biter 45-38 overtime victory over Appalachian State.
The Nittany Lions slid to No. 13 following Saturday’s near-upset at Beaver Stadium. Wisconsin dropped to No. 5 and Ohio State moved up to the No. 4 spot after a win over Oregon State.
Penn State also dropped one spot in the USA Today Coaches Poll from No. 9 to No. 10 for Week 2.
Last week’s No. 10 AP ranking was the Nittany Lions’ second consecutive top-ten ranking in the preseason AP Poll.
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.
