It is not often hat a team moves up in the polls by getting a split the previous week, especially when the loss comes at home. Purdue’s recent run of solid play and chance to crack the top 25 may have ended with the Michigan loss, but the AP rewarded our Boilers for their four straight wins, three on the road, with a few more votes his week.

  2. Baylor (3) 1,539
