Preseason Rankings Released: Purdue Opponents Ranked...

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

NU: NR but receiving votes in the 31-36 range
Eastern Michigan: NR
Missouri: NR
Boston College: NR but receiving votes in the 31-36 range
Nebraska: NR
Illinois: NR
OSU: #5 AP #3 Coaches
MSU: #11 AP #12 Coaches
Iowa: NR
Minnesota: NR
Whisky: #4 AP (1 1st vote) #7 Coaches
IU: NR

Difficult stretch between OSU and Whisky but no reason to think Purdue couldn't get through that 2-3. I think a season of 6-6 again would be another step forward and potentially a 5-7 season would still be a step forward as it creates a lot of learning opportunities (and potential for a bowl bid with a high ranking).

I'll stick to my original 7-5 season with W's against EMU, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, Minny, and IU with a surprise against BC, Iowa, or NU.

First 4 games are key.....Starting the season with 4 home games....Hopefully we can win them all
