The team’s ranking in this week’s AP Poll comes after yet another loss to Ohio State, a 20-12 defeat in Columbus, which dropped Penn State to a 6-1 record. Ohio State held on to its No. 3 ranking following its victory over the Nittany Lions.

Meanwhile, the AP Poll’s top six remained the same while Texas, Oregon, and Alabama jumped Penn State to Nos. 7, 8, and 9, respectively.

Meanwhile, Penn State fell to No. 10 in the USA Today Coaches Poll after sitting at No. 6 last week.

Penn State’s next matchup is against Indiana at noon on Saturday, October 28, at Beaver Stadium. The game will be televised on CBS.
