The Penn State Nittany Lions football team was idle during its bye week, but the polls were not.
The Nittany Lions, sitting at 5-1, stood their ground in the Coaches Poll and AP Poll this week.
Notably in the Big Ten, AP No. 2 Iowa suffered its first defeat of the season to previously unranked Purdue. Michigan State, Ohio State and Michigan remained in the top-10 of both polls after earning wins this week.
The Nittany Lions will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season this Saturday when they host Illinois at noon.
