That's a fair ranking. I was wrong about Florida passing the Boilers after beating UK and I was surprised to see the Boilers ranked higher than Duke.
Plus destroying another ranked opponent at home in the same week. Solid week for the Boilers.
Wisconsin 7th....yet a 4-seed with Joey Brackets. Lack of high-quality wins. Granted, sometimes he's off on the seedings, but cwill there be the same kind of NCAA/conference seeding as last year, relatively speaking? We shall see.
Boilers did get a pretty good bump. Yuge game TH.

Surprisingly a very nice jump. Now to solidify the ranking with a win in Bloomington
Solidify, verify, and testify.....
There's no way wisconsin is no. 5. I don't even think it's a top ten team.
Purdue has the highest ceiling in the conference

Purdue will get its second win against whisky in the BTT.
Purdue does have the highest ceiling in the BT and I think is the best team. I would have put IU up there as well before the injuries as far as ceiling. Wisconsin has just mastered the Big Ten race like Purdue had in the past. We match up extremely well with them and it always shocks me how much trouble other teams have with them. I would love another game with them in the BTT.
Wisconsin has an extremely favorable schedule thus far and in total this season. They are currently ranked 1st, and only play once against teams #2 through #6 (@PU, Maryland, NW, @MSU, Iowa ....3 at home, 2 on the road). Of those five teams, they have only played one so far......and lost.
Purdue Big Ten opponents have 61 wins so far and Wisconsin opponents have 41. Take away the 2 more games we lost as more wins for us and that is a huge margin as far as difficulty of schedule.
I quickly added the numbers so may be off by one or two but there was a wide margin even if the 2 numbers I listed aren't correct.
