Penn State up to No. 5 in AP

Following a workman-like 28-7 win over Syracuse, Penn State solidified itself, for now, as a top-five team. In the Coaches' Poll, Penn State stayed put at No. 5. In the AP Poll, Penn State jumped up 1.5 spots into a tie with No. 5 Mississippi.

Michigan entered the AP Poll this week at No. 25, but was not able to crack the Coaches' Poll. Notre Dame fell out. I'll have my Top 25 up later today. Unlike the actual pollsters, I like to take a look at all the big games and know exactly what I'm doing.
