When the latest AP Top 25 poll came out on Monday Purdue was coming off a 1-1 week including an absolute drubbing at the hands of the referees Maryland. There was no doubt Purdue would drop down. No doubt at all. Purdue found themselves at #5. A spot that I think most Purdue fans are very happy with and understand given the recent slide.
