According to SbNation’s S&P formula, Purdue’s chances of a bowl berth dwindled from 88% to 76% after a loss this weekend to Michigan State.
While 76% is clearly still above average, I was feeling much more comfortable at 88%. Purdue has 4 games remaining this season, with two being at home and two on the road. The two at home are not cupcakes either with being Iowa and Wisconsin. On the road, we will see Minnesota and IU in the annual bucket game.
According to ESPN’s FPI, Purdue is favored in 3 of the next four games, giving us a great chance at another bowl berth under 2nd year head coach, Jeff Brohm.
