Oct 21, 2023; Columbus, Ohio, USA; Ohio State Buckeyes tight end Cade Stover (8) runs upfield after making a catch between Penn State Nittany Lions linebacker Curtis Jacobs (23) and safety Kevin Winston Jr. (21) during the second half of the NCAA football game at Ohio Stadium. Ohio State won 20-12.

The Penn State football team entered the Ohio State matchup as the No. 7 team in the country. But after the loss, the expectation for the week 9 AP Poll ranking is that the Nittany Lions will fall. Now, how much will they slide in the rankings is the big question. The way Manny Diaz had the defense prepared will help soften the blow in terms of where they land in the AP Poll this week. It also helps when a team like UNC loses to an unranked Virginia team at home. But the latest rankings have just been released, where did the Nittany Lions end up?

So, who jumped the Penn State football team this week? Texas jumped from No. 8 to No. 7, and Oregon moved from No. 9 to No.8, Alabama moved from No. 11 to No. 9 this week which leaves Penn State at No. 10.  The Nittany Lions will look to regroup against Indiana to try and salvage their season.
