Polls are out: PSU to No. 12

In today's USA Today Coaches' Poll, Penn State made a relatively big jump to No. 12. That's up three spots from last week's No. 15 rank, which sets things up very nicely for next week's showdown with Illinois. If PSU even wins by a small margin, it will be top 10 for the Lions. But if PSU can hang another 40, this time on the Illini, I wouldn't be surprised at a top-seven ranking. But let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Win the game, first.

Other Big Ten teams: No. 8 Wisconsin (No Change); No. 13 Ohio State (+1); No. 21 Illinois (+2).

Damn I'm excited. Go State!

*Update (2:41 p.m.): Penn State has also moved up to No. 12 in the AP poll, No. 7 at CollegeFootballPoll.com, No. 9 at CollegeFootballNews.com, and No. 16 at CBS Sportsline. I'll go over all of these later.

I'm looking forward to seeing Penn St. win the Big Ten for a change.Not unless Wisconsin can step in the way.
