Just as they did in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, the Penn State Nittany Lions have moved up a few spots in this week’s AP Top 25.
Penn State moved up to No. 13 in the updated AP Top 25 this week after defeating Minnesota by a 45-17 final on Saturday night in Beaver Stadium. Penn State moved up three spots in this week’s poll after being ranked No. 16 last week. Penn State is one of four Big Ten teams in the AP poll with No. 2 Ohio State, No. 4 Michigan, and No. 17 Illinois all in the top 25 along with the Nittany Lions.
Penn State will host Ohio State this week for a noon kickoff.
Georgia remains the top team in the country at No. 1. Penn State moved ahead of Syracuse and Ole Miss after the Orange and Rebels each took a loss in Week 8.
