Penn State moves up in both coaches and AP Poll
After defeating Central Michigan 33-14 on Saturday afternoon to improve to 4-0 on the season, the Penn State Nittany Lions have moved up once again in both the AP and Coaches Poll.
In this week's AP Poll, the Nittany Lions have moved up three spots from No. 14 and are now the nation's No. 11 team in the country. The Nittany Lions are one of four Big Ten teams in the AP Top 25, joining Ohio State (No. 3), Michigan (No. 4), and Minnesota (No. 21). No other Big Ten team received votes in this week's poll.
In the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Nittany Lions moved up three spots from No. 15 to No. 12. Like in the AP Poll, they join Ohio State (No. 3), Michigan (No. 4), and Minnesota (No. 23) inside the top-25. Michigan State received 13 voting points in the poll despite a second-straight loss, this time a 34-7 loss to Minnesota. Maryland also received two voting points.
Penn State will look to improve to 5-0 this upcoming Saturday against the 1-3 Northwestern Wildcats. The game is scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff at Beaver Stadium and will be televised on ESPN.
