It was a strange week in college football. A total of 11 ranked teams lost, meaning Purdue had an excellent shot at its first top 25 ranking in 11 years had it won. Instead, we came up short and we’ll be waiting a few more weeks at least. We even moved up the infamous list of longest droughts between rankings as Syracuse, who had not been in the top 25 since 2001, moved into the top 25. Now the only Power 5 team that has a longer top 25 drought than us is Indiana, who has waited since 1994.
