Just two weeks ago Purdue's streak of consecutive weeks in the AP top 25 was in danger, as the Boilermakers slipped to No. 23 in advance of playing two straight ranked teams. Now, Purdue has stayed in the top 25 for a 34th consecutive week (7th longest active streak behind Kansas, Arizona, Villanova, Virginia, North Carolina, and Kentucky).
Purdue has been 15th in 6 of 14 polls and no higher. The 34 straight weeks ranked ties for the second-most all-time in school history. Purdue was ranked for 64 consecutive weeks from 2008-2011 with the Baby Boilers. Purdue was previously ranked for 34 consecutive weeks from 1998-99 and 1993-94.This week Purdue comes in at No. 16 again, as the rule that we can go no higher than 15 remains in force.
