A little too close for comfort against Nebraska but a win is a win. There just aren't many teams I'd put ahead of them at this spot.

69.3

There’s a lot of fringe top 25 teams and Purdue gets in thanks to being 5-2 and 3-1 in Big 10 play. Their only losses are to Syracuse and Penn State and by a combined 7 points. Purdue is good enough to beat most teams but the gap between Purdue and the Big 10 elite is still there. However, Spoilermakers so don’t count it out.

That loss at Syracuse is looking forgivable

(+4) It's hard to rank magic bullshit effectively

Power: 24, SOR: 19; LW: 20

Another team that can fuck around and win the West

I ranked Purdue so they lose to Wisconsin this week muahahahahha. No, I ranked Purdue because they're a top 25 team.

(NEW)

They have won 3 in a row.

Tier #5

LW: NR

Mean score: 2813

Last week NR won vs Nebraska 43-37. Winning against Nebraska isn't special (especially by such a close margin) but Purdue has two losses on the season, and both of those teams are currently ranked (at #14 Syracuse & vs #16 Penn State). They are setting themselves up for thier highly anticipated matchup on 11/12 that will probably decide who represents the Big Ten West in the Championship Game when they go to #15 Illinois (should be College GameDay if both win until then and yes I want them over Alabama-Ole Miss). Could be the best Purdue Cannon Game of all-time. Next week at Wisconsin.

Deservedness prohibits 2-loss teams being ranked above 0-loss teams
