Welcome to Whiteout week, Penn State fans.

The Nittany Lions are ready for a top-25 clash with Auburn, as the Tigers visit Beaver Stadium this Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. showdown with head coach James Franklin's team, and the sold-out stands will feature almost everyone wearing white clothing from head to toe.

Let's dive into the top tweets and headlines about the Penn State Nittany Lions and college football in general for Sept. 13.

The new rankings are out, and Penn State is No. 10 in The Associated Press top-25 and just outside of it in the USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 12.

If you want to remember the last Whiteout, the official team account has you covered with a look back at that Michigan timeout to start the game in 2019.

James Franklin is Feeling His Oats. For Good Reason: Poorman, Statecollege.com

“I don’t feel like I’m the best or some spectacular spectacle. But I’m definitely honored, and I feel like it’s a great reward because everybody doesn’t do it and everybody can’t do it. So to feel like the coaches have trust in me to do it, I just feel like my brothers on the team trust me to do it. It’s a great honor, and it’s a great feeling to have it.”
