Joe Paterno, who coaches the #17 ranked Nittany Lions (led by QB Daryll Clark who wears #17), is ranked by Slate as the 17th most powerful octogenarian in the U.S. That puts him higher than Jimmy Carter (#19) and George H.W. Bush (#72), but lower than (strikingly similar) magazine publishers Hugh Hefner (#15) and Helen Gurley Brown (#13).

Oh and according to ABC, Paterno is actually older than sliced bread.
