I was just checking out RPIForecast.com, and the news isn't good. If you look at the projected end of the year RPIs, Purdue could have 3 losses by teams with an RPI of over 100. Those are "bad losses" in the selection committee's eyes. Those losses are to North Florida, Gardner Webb, and Vanderbilt. We better get on the KSU bandwagon too, because their RPI is projected to be in the 90s.
If Purdue ends up with 3 "bad losses," that is going to be insurmountable unless we have some some big wins down the stretch--like winning at IU, at MSU, or at OSU.
This website projects Purdue's RPI to be at 58 if Purdue gets to 20 wins. A 58 RPI with 3 bad losses looks like one of the first teams out to me.
My point? Getting to 11 Big Ten wins isn't a slam dunk lock.
