For the second straight week, Penn State dominated a Big Ten opponent, securing them a top-10 spot in the Associated Press top-25 poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll.

The Nittany Lions clocked in at No. 10 in the AP Poll this week and No. 9 in the Coaches Poll.

After defeating Purdue 35-7 on Saturday, the Lions are 5-0 as they head to Kinnick Stadium for their match up against Iowa next weekend. 

The last time Penn State was voted into the top-10 of the AP poll was Oct. 2018 when they came in at No. 8, before falling to Michigan State.
