#3 this week.

Four 1’s and must have also had many 2’s to only be 71 votes short of first place at 60 voters.
 
Big Ten really took a hit as Wisconsin is the only other ranked conference team at #18. Several schools (6), though are receiving votes (Indiana, Michigan State, Northwestern, Rutgers, Illinois, and Ohio State).
 
To still have 4 #1 votes coming off a week when Purdue lost says something about how well this current team is regarded. I sense some skepticism still with regard to Purdue, given it’s youth and lack of 5 star recruits, but I also think that the level of national respect for the Purdue program continues to rise.
 

About where I figured Purdue would be.
Me too. Figured we'd keep at least 1 first place vote. Kansas looks really good right now. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had passed Houston, but the logical step is to have Houston #1.
 
#3 in coaches poll too. First place votes are a little more spread out too with Purdue getting 6.
