After a dismal effort against Wisconsin, Penn State fell out of the Associated Press poll, and dropped to No. 22 in the Coaches Poll.

The Nittany Lions are joined in the Coaches rankings by fellow Big Ten teams Indiana (5th in Coaches, 6th in AP), Ohio State (5th in AP, 6th in Coaches), Iowa (14th), Oregon (15th), USC (18th), and Michigan (24th in Coaches).

The Nittany Lions look to rebound from their first loss as they leave the state of Pennsylvania for the first time on Saturday, heading to Evanston for a night game against the Wildcats in their new stadium. The game will be televised on FOX.
