The preseason coaches poll, now apparently sponsored by Amway, is out and Purdue is not in it. This is not much of a surprise, as the Boilers were only 7-6 last season and haven’t been ranked since starting 5-0 in 2007. Purdue currently has the 15th longest unranked streak in the AP Poll at 173 weeks, with Syracuse (262 weeks) and Inidana (394 weeks) as the only Power 5 teams with longer streaks.
Purdue received 5 votes in the September 23, 2012 poll, but that is the last time we even received votes. While Purdue may may not get ranked this year, its “Receiving Votes” streak could end soon.
