The Penn State Nittany Lions did not play a single game last weekend and were the third-ranked team in the country. Penn State will hit the road this week and face the Wisconsin Badgers football team, which has won three straight games.
Wisconsin isn’t ranked in the top 25 polls this week, but that could change if it beats Penn State this weekend. The Nittany Lions are 6-0 this season and the Badgers are 5-2.
The Penn State Nittany Lions are not thrilled about remaining 3 in the AP Polls heading into their matchup with the Wisconsin Badgers
Penn State finished third in the AP polls last week. They remained in third place in the rankings this week. The Oregon Ducks jumped into first place in the country after the Texas Longhorns lost to the Georgia Bulldogs. As for Georgia, it rose from five to two in the polls.
Penn State Nittany Lions fans weren’t thrilled about staying in the rankings. Here’s what fans wrote about it on social media:
Penn State should be two. Georgia lost to a mediocre Bama team, surrendered 31 to 1-6 to Mississippi State, and needed a miracle to escape 3-4 Kentucky by 1 point.

Oregon may have deserved that top spot, but Penn State ahead of Ohio State is disrespectful. Well done Vanderbilt for ranking.

Penn State at 3 is just wild. Jesus

SEC Deviation in full screen. I don’t even like Penn St, but they should be #2. Just look, they’ll try to beat Alabama to another team by the end of the year.

Many thought Penn State would jump from three to two this week after its loss to the Texas Longhorns. Instead, the Georgia Bulldogs leapfrogged them and that’s what upset the fans.
Trap game
It will be a trap game for the Penn State Nittany Lions next weekend on the road. The Wisconsin Badgers don’t have as much talent as Penn State, but they’ve looked better lately. WITH Ohio State Buckeye on the horizon for the Nittany Lions, this could be a game where they miss Wisconsin.
This is a game the Nittany Lions should win. But the Badgers won’t go down without a fight this weekend.
