In many ways, college football is all about perception.
In Week 1, Penn State survived an overtime scare, winning at home against Appalachian State.
As a result, the Nittany Lions dropped three spots to No. 13 after being ranked 10th in the preseason AP Top 25.
On Saturday night, Oklahoma also survived an overtime scare in a game it was heavily favored to win, topping Army, 28-21. The Cowboys were No. 6 on my ballot last week. I put them No. 9 this week — one spot below Penn State.
