College Basketball Rankings November 25: Purdue Receives Votes

This might be the last week for a while where Purdue is out of the AP top 25. The Boilers could pick up a pair of wins this week as VCU and Tennessee are both in the top 25, with Florida State just barely out of it. If the Boilers win both games down in Florida this weekend a return to the top 25 next week seems likely. It also means our next three games could be against top 25 teams if we played Tennessee on Saturday:

1. Duke (53) 1,610
2. Louisville (7) 1,512
3. Michigan State (4) 1,500
4. Kansas 1,383
