Penn State made some recent moves in the latest editions of the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25, but neither of those polls saw the Nittany Lions wiggle their way into the top 10. That was not the case in this week’s Super 16 Poll from the Football Writers Association of America and National Football Foundation.
Penn State move into the top 10 in this week’s Super 16 poll as there was a little bit of a shakeup in the bottom half of the Super 16 this week following the results of Week 1. Below you will find the updated Super 16, which was released on Tuesday. I have also taken the liberty of sharing how I voted for each spot in the poll and why I did so.
Just as it did with the preseason ranking, we start with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
