Well. That happened. #3 Purdue, which will hold onto that ranking for just one more day, fell into the trap game and went ahead and lost by 24 points to Michigan after narrowly beating them at the start of the week.
It’s been a week of real highs and real lows for a team that had only suffered 3 losses by a total of 10 points coming into it.
Purdue hosted Michigan and won to start the week, and then blew out Illinois at home as one of their marquee wins of the season. Just two days later, they had to travel to Ann Arbor where a hungry and desperate Wolverines squad absolutely wiped the floor with them.
