Penn State may be ranked in the updated national polls, including the US LBM Coaches Poll, but the Nittany Lions are at the top of one ranking of every FBS prorgam this season. USA TODAY Sports has Penn State taking the top spot in the latest NCAA re-ranking of all 136 FBS programs.
Compiled by Paul Myerberg, the USA TODAY Sports re-rank is updated weekly throughout the season. Myerberg ranked Penn State at the top of his Week 1 ranking going into the start of the season. Penn State handled its business at home with a 46-11 victory against Nevada, which ranks No. 122 in the updated ranking. That was enough to keep the chair warm on the top ranking from Myerberg.

Georgia sits one spot behind Penn State as the Bulldogs also saw no change in their ranking this week. Ohio State, who jumped over Penn State to be the No. 1 in this week’s AP Top 25 along with the US LBM Coaches Poll, moves up to No. 3 in Myerberg’s NCAA re-rank after moving up three spots following its big home win against Texas in Week 1.
Penn State hosts FIU in Week 2. The Nittany Lions are a heavy favorite going into the second game of the season. FIU ranks 117th in Myerberg’s NCAA re-rank. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. ET, and the game will air on Big Ten Network.
