As the calendar gets closer and closer to the start of the college football season, media outlets are putting together their previews for the upcoming season. Player and team rankings have been prevalent on many of the sites covering college football.
ESPN just put out their list of the top 10 defenses coming into the season. They had 10 of their writers vote on a ballot where 10 points are given to their first-place vote and one point is given to their 10th-place vote.
After a dominant defense last year, Penn State once again finds itself with a defense that is poised to be just as dominant. Manny Diaz is in his second season as the defensive coordinator and will be able to do more things with his defense than he was able to show last year.
Where does Penn State rank according to ESPN?
