A tourney win plus the chaos of Feast Week has Purdue back in the top 10.
AP Poll Deecmber 2: Purdue Back in the Top 10
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Over the last few years, how many weeks has Purdue been in top 10? More often than not, is my guess.
Kind of taken for granted at this s point.

I think the current ranking is a bit high. But, enjoy that Purdue is now a little over ranked because of their reputation.
Purdue has been in every poll since the second one of the 2022-23 season, for a total of 42 weeks. In only three of those it was not in the top 10, two of them being this year.Total AP Men's BB Poll Appearances Summary | College Poll Archive

If Purdue had been in the top 25 for the 2022-23 preseason and week 1 it would be in 63 consecutive polls and in the top 10 in 59 of those 63.
