Purdue started the season at #3 in the AP Top 25 and that felt like a pretty great spot. Only Kansas and Duke were ahead of the Purdue Boilermakers and you can’t really begrudge either of those choices. I didn’t feel disrespected. I felt...respected? Yeah, that’s it. Purdue has been ranked #1 in each of the last two seasons and will look to get there a third time in the next AP Poll. For now though, they’ve have to settle for #2.

Coming up directly behind the Boilermakers in the #3 spot is future Purdue opponent Arizona following their upset victory over Duke.
