Seeing PSU #5 to #7 in way too early preseason polls

Lots of hype for '23. Both early guesstimates that I've seen had Georgia, Alabama, as 1,2. Both had Michigan and Ohio St as 3,4.

Check this out: SI's way-too-early 2023 poll has us ranked #4.

Here's the write-up:

>>If ever the Nittany Lions are going to break to the Michigan–Ohio State grip on the Big Ten East, this could be the time. They have a pair of running backs returning who rushed for more than 1,900 yards combined in 2022. Everyone is excited about quarterback Drew Allar. Left tackle Olu Fashanu, a projected first-round pick, has already announced he will bypass the draft and stay in school. Linebacker Abdul Carter was one of the best freshmen in the country on that side of the ball in ’22, and North Carolina transfer defensive back Storm Duck will fill a need. The schedule is manageable, with an intriguing potential advantage in the middle: Penn State’s two weeks before playing at Ohio State on Oct. 21 are an open date and a walkover against Massachusetts.<<
