Looked good in their first real test--they may topple OSU.

The Nits have played two quality teams, and dominated both.

The Nittany Lions dominated Illinois in a week when simply surviving meant something.

The Nittany Lions are a force to be reckoned with. Their offense looks explosive as they put 38 points up on the scoreboard against Illinois. That was their lowest point total this season, which includes a 66 point game.

The Nittany Lions are the class of the Big Ten, and they put a whipping on the team that beat last week's number one.

They have looked impressive early on. Four of the next five games are on the road, including games at Wisconsin and Ohio State. If thy can go 4-1 in that stretch and beat OSU, they should win the Big Ten.

The Nittany Lions passed the first big test of the season in beating Illinois. However, Oregon State's win over USC makes Penn State's dominating win over the Beavers all the more impressive.

I don't care who you are, you have to be impressed with JoePa's boys so far this season. My pick to win the BIG Ten.

Their domination of Oregon State is what puts the Lions ahead of Missouri, though each team bested Illinois in similar fashion.

Other then Bama I think Penn State looks like a team that has their eyes set on a prize bigger then the Rose Bowl.

Oregon State's victory over then number 1 USC meant as much to the Nittany Lions as it did to the Beavers. Someone's 45-14 victory looks slightly more impressive now! Strong offensive showing against the Illini, and the defense contained Juice well.
Derrek Croney #4
Slight nod to the Nittany Lions who are playing their best football in years. At this moment, they are the class of the Big Ten.

JoePa's teams seem to have a knack for looking good early in the season.

Have looked just as good as Texas, and have done it against better competition.

The "Spread HD" has looked great so far. The only question about this team was at quarterback. I would say that has been answered. They could, and maybe should win the Big 10.

College football is better when Alabama and Penn State are doing well.

Oregon State, check. Illinois, check. Now overpowering Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Michigan becomes mandatory for Joe Paterno. If they can do that without looking ahead, the Nittany Lions could run the table.

Great comments...but Northwestern isn't that good, Brad Shipley. They beat some pansies and then get demolished in conference play. They look better this year than they did last year, and that's why I have them at #2 in the Big 10 Power rankings now, but they are sure to drop in my rankings and the NCAA's rankings very shortly. We could kill NW.
Great article, Trey.
