I’ve seen a few different predictions of a possible 2 seed for Purdue. Has anyone else seen these?
After the Auburn game I highly doubt anyone could see this team in the discussion for a 2 seed or a 3 seed to be honest.

Yeah still early, and notice that in the top one they have 11 different teams that have a 3-seed in their projected range. That's a lot of teams, speaking to how even that cluster of teams is. One mediocre loss and at team like Purdue would drop to the back end of that group. But we've made such a move in the last few weeks that 2-3 is absolutely warranted.

We are the 3rd #4 seed on the matrix currently, but most of the brackets there don't include Saturday, which resulted in major shifting across the landscape not just us.
 
This year's team is starting to remind me of 2018-19.

That team also started off rocky (6-5 after losing to ND in mid-December). They won 17 of their next 20 games and eventually shared the B1G title with MSU. They got a #3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Elite 8. I don't think anybody saw that coming in the first six weeks of the season.

Yup. Seen if we were to win the B1G outright, with 3 losses, we are more than likely a 1 seed…which would be insane 😂

Yeah 25-6 would be in decent shape for a #1. Gotta figure (at least) 2 SEC teams and Duke look really good for 1s. The ACC competition is just not strong enough to give Duke more than 3 more losses. The top of the Big East is not looking good right now, so yeah 17-3 in the balanced B1G should make that happen.

But Iowa State in there too.

Yeah for sure. Would be one of paints best coaching years if that happens haha. I’m thinking 15-5ish will win it. MSU needs to start losing a few here… 😂
