Its crazy....Purdue certainly class of the conference---right now. But we all know how conference play can go. Teams know one another, etc, etc...And I think Purdue playing as they have, kind of has made the rest look, well, meh. I don't think that is the case...Illinois has a ton of talent---just haven't gelled..Injuries, suspension, etc, etc....Wisky beat a very good Houston team...Michigan has great talent, its just young---plus one of the top 3 centers in the league...A super frosh(Houstan), who's struggling...OSU some early hiccups....But they too have the talent...SO does MSU....I like my Hoosiers. We battled tonight....If we had 27 turnovers in a game last year, we would have lost by 40. MSU is better than what others think....
Big 10 is going to be a monster.
I'm 49---so not the best Purdue team I can recall..
1988 team you mentioned----that team was really, really good. Only lost two games in a very good B10. Still stunned they lost to KSU.
1994---Big Dog is healthy, PU goes to the FF.
IMO, those two, and maybe the Hummel team(s).
But no doubt, this is a veery good team---Probably Matt's best.
You will this year.Why? Didn't need it to go 3-0 against Wisconsin last year.....
Well whatever you want to call it, just make sure you f***s lose to Iowa this year.Iowa will do Iowa------late Jan/Feb, here we call it the "Iowa fade"---I hear its a popular haircut is Iowa City...
Joke's on you, because we've already been there......You will this year.
Whoa - I’m 100 years old? ****!Holy, shit.....
Big Ten > ACC confirmedWe see you, Buckeyes! Amazing win.
Hail is 13 years old emotionally…so it evens out.Holy, shit.....
Color me relieved - I was worried there for a sec.Well, technically, 98.....
Did anyone besides IU lose so far?Big Ten > ACC confirmed
Northwestern?Did anyone besides IU lose so far?
As long as Purdue doesn't choke against Iowa, they'll be #1 next week, baby!
I don't think so....ANd ****----Should have. Ahh, fuk it.Did anyone besides IU lose so far?
Lost $1700 on Duke -2 and Minn -2.5. Oh well. At least Purdue will be #1 if we canhandle business against Iowa.@VulvHa told you that bet was a loser Trent is a mush
Yeah- as you relentlessly point out I’m older than you - 61 as of Nov 21. I have never seen Purdue ranked #1 and I’ve seen some damn good Purdue teams. I will love to see a #1 in front of Purdue on the ESPN scroll. 😀Also I never agreed with our home boarders that say ranking doesn’t matter. Being ranked high is part of the fun of being a fan. Also the higher ranked you are the more spotlight you have in the media which is 1) fun 2) good exposure to recruits.

then again Fran could ruin that plan 😂
Agreed, this Monday was the first time in 635 days Illinois wasn’t ranked (after like 10 years of being ranked rarely, lol…), and it sucked. Never got why fans said rankings didn’t matter. They certainly do to me.Also I never agreed with our home boarders that say ranking doesn’t matter. Being ranked high is part of the fun of being a fan.

Yeah even if it's just a week it would be a cool milestone, don't think Purdue has ever had a team ranked #1 beforeCongrats. We’ve had some really damn good teams this decade but have never haven’t reached #1 since 2012/13. Even then we lost the very first game we had that rank lol. It’s been elusive.
It will be longer than a week....If, and you will, beat Iowa, after that, its, well....Yeah even if it's just a week it would be a cool milestone, don't think Purdue has ever had a team ranked #1 before
I think Bama, Michigan, and Georgia would be locks. I’d lean Cincinnati at 4 but thats more of a toss up as they aren’t Power 5 so who knows what the committee will think.Imagine these outcomes this weekend:
Alabama 24 Georgia 21
Michigan 24 Iowa 21
Oklahoma State 31 Baylor 10
Cincinnati 31 Houstan 10
Who makes the CFB a playoffs? Wish they would just move to 8 teams. I’d have have a couple undeserving teams make it than a couple deserving teams miss it.

Fify to reflect accuracy......Imagine these outcomes this weekend:
Alabama 27 Georgia 31
Michigan 21 Iowa 24
Oklahoma State 31 Baylor 10
Cincinnati 31 Houstan 10
