Complete list of Power 5 teams that have a 5-1 record:
Duke (AP – 25)
Penn State (unranked)
Stanford (AP – 15)
California (AP – 23)
Ole Miss (AP – 13)
Alabama (AP -10)
Oklahoma (4-1) (AP – 19), Boise State (5-1) (AP – 21), and UCLA (4-1) (AP – 18), each have a loss to an unranked team, just like PSU. Unlike PSU, the teams those schools lost to have multiple losses.
Something is a little off. Clearly, Penn State is under-ranked by comparison. Their body of work suggest they should be ranked in the 20-25 range.
