Maybe we'll get one week of calm atop the Power Rankings before the end of the season.
Even with the chaos throughout the rest of the field, the trio of Purdue, Alabama and Houston seemed fairly rock-solid. According to ESPN Stats & Information research, this past Saturday was the fourth Saturday in the last five weeks to feature at least eight ranked teams losing. Meanwhile, the Boilermakers, Crimson Tide and Cougars were separating themselves in their own tier.
Or so we thought.
Purdue lost at Northwestern on Sunday afternoon, its second loss in three games.
