Penn State seen favorably in 2023 by early top 25 rankings

Penn State finished the 2022 season at No. 7 in the final Associated Press top 25. The Lions are expected to start the 2023 season inside the top 10. Sporting News and ESPN have them as a top-five team. The team is expected with half of its starters from this year's team and a new quarterback. Michigan visits Happy Valley and Penn State has to win at Ohio State.

Sports Illustrated has Penn State ranked at No. 4 for the 2023 season. FanDuel lists the Lions as one of five teams with 20-to-1 odds to win next year's College Football Playoff. Drew Allar is 20 to 1 to be the Heisman winner. The highest ranking for Penn Staten was No 6 in the 2017 season, when James Franklin's team was in preseason top 10. The team has been a preseason No 10 in three of the last nine seasons.
