Penn State’s annual White Out will officially be a top-10 matchup after the release of this week’s AP Top 25 poll.
The Nittany Lions (3-0) fell one spot to No. 3, the first movement they’ve seen all year, after their first bye week of the season. Miami, which handily defeated Florida and had previous wins over Notre Dame and South Florida, jumped up to the No. 2 spot. Oregon (4-0), which will travel across the country to State College later this week, held its spot at No. 6 after a 41-7 win over Oregon State.
Penn State, which received five first-place votes, has a chance to earn its first ranked win of the season, though the Ducks will be looking to do the same.
The Nittany Lions’ remaining games against ranked opponents are at Ohio State, which sits in the No. 1 spot, and vs. Indiana, which jumped up to No. 11 after a dominant win over then-No. 9 Illinois.
