Penn State #8

The USA Today (Coach's) Poll is out, and the Lions are #8.

1. Florida (53) 0-0 1,466
2. Texas (4) 0-0 1,386
3. Oklahoma (1) 0-0 1,358
4. USC (1) 0-0 1,321
5. Alabama 0-0 1,134
6. Ohio State 0-0 1,126
7. Virginia Tech 0-0 1,020
8. Penn State 0-0 988
9. LSU 0-0 917
10. Mississippi 0-0 889

As you can see, that southern speed has earned four spots in the Top Ten. Penn State is in pretty good company. In addition to how well we play, the season may hinge on that OSU-USC matchup early on. IF the Buckeyes win, and IF (when?) we beat them, Penn State could be in great shape, despite a weak OOC schedule.

But wouldn't it be more fun to watch the games than just sit around talking about them? Alas, that is all we have for now.
