While I love Penn State and am excited that they moved back into the rankings, it's really insane that they moved from unranked to #12 by beating Akron and Michigan. The Nittany Lions are 5-3 with an overtime loss to Richmond and losses to two very good teams in Maryland and American, but until they play some consistent soccer (they beat Virginia but lost to Richmond), they can't be considered a #12 team. They have a chance to prove me wrong Friday when they host #5 Indiana.
