Up to 6 in the Coaches

They wisely bumped USC down a spot
Sounds about right. Three B1G teams in the top 6. Good luck trying to predict a winner,

And USC still has a garbage defense. Lincoln Riley might be the best offensive mind in the country but is clueless when it comes to defense and making the right hires
 
You can't be that explosive on offense AND have a good defense. UGA last year was perhaps the anomaly, but great defense requires some ball control on offense or your guys tire.
 
They were #6 last week in both polls. Why is everyone saying they moved up in coaches poll?

Funny, the poll shows PSU at 6 having bumped up one spot.

6. Penn State (+1)​

Things didn’t look good for Penn State at first against Northwestern. Yes it was a 41-13 win, but it was tied 10-10 at halftime, putting Nittany Lions fans on edge.

Northwestern has been competitive this season, despite a tumultuous summer involving the firing of Pat Fitzgerald. But eventually, Drew Allar and the Penn State offense pulled away. It wasn’t the prettiest, but the team took care of business.
