Penn State moved to No. 15 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday following a victory over Temple at Lincoln Financial Field. The Nittany Lions climbed one spot in the rankings after navigating a slow start to secure the win. The shift in the rankings was accelerated by losses for Oklahoma and Oregon, which dropped 11 and 12 spots respectively. Tennessee also climbed in the poll following a road win against Georgia Tech, preventing Penn State from rising further this week.
