Following the releases of the preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and AP Top 25, Penn State has secured one more top-10 preseason ranking. The Football Writers Association of America and National Football Foundation released its preseason Super 16 Poll for the 2023 season, and Penn State was ranked at no. 7 to start the season.
Penn State’s preseason ranking in the Super 16 Poll matches the preseason rankings in the coaches and AP polls, giving Penn State a consensus no. 7 ranking to start the season. As has been the case, Georgia topped the Super 16 poll and both Michigan and Ohio State ranked higher than the Nittany Lions among Big Ten teams.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a voter in this poll and will be throughout the 2023 season. I have noted how I voted for each spot in the poll.
