suffering a "Draft Day Hangover" includes 5 of the 8 B10 teams Purdue will face this season. A quick synopsis of the information:
A value is assigned to draft picks (7 points to a 1st rounder, 5 points to a 2nd rounder, 4 points to a 3rd rounder, and so forth) and the totals tallied by school. Using 18 years of data, schools that have 12 or more points have a same or worse record 76.4% of the time (239 of 313); schools with 24 points have a same or worse record 83.0% of the time (73 of 88).
Teams on Purdue's schedule which have 12 or more points (plus their 2014 record):
Iowa - 14 points (7-6)
MSU - 14 points (11-2)
Minnesota - 12 points (8-5)
Nebraska - 12 points (9-4)
Wisconsin - 12 points (11-3)
Out of the 8 B10 teams on Purdue's schedule, only Illinois, Northwestern and IU didn't appear. None of Purdue's non-conference opponents tallied 12 or more points.
