Maybe we really are a good team still.

Purdue may have lost its opener Thursday night, but it was a back and forth game with seven total lead changes and it wasn’t decided until the final minute. That was enough for someone out there to still believe, as even with a loss Purdue received a single vote in this week’s AP Poll.

  1. Alabama (44) 1,552
  2. Georgia (17) 1.511
  3. Ohio State (2) 1,471
  4. Michigan 1,299
  5. Clemson 1,280
  6. Texas A&M 1,241
  7. Oklahoma 1,130
  8. Notre Dame 1,085
  9. Baylor 1,057
  10. USC 898
  11. Oklahoma State 818
  12. Florida 763
  13. Utah 717
  14. Michigan State 690
  15. Miami (FL) 679
  16. Arkansas 678
  17. Pittsburgh 535
  18. North Carolina State 513
  19. Wisconsin 476
  20. Kentucky 373
  21. BYU 266
  22. Ole Miss 254
  23. Wake Forest 246
  24. Tennessee 194
  25. Houston 143

Others receiving votes:

Oregon 131, Penn State 122, Texas 118, Cincinnati 63, Florida State 42, Fresno State 22, UCF 22, Minnesota 22, Kansas State 18, Auburn 15, Mississippi State 10, Air Force 8, Oregon State 5, North Carolina 3, South Carolina 2, Purdue 1, UCLA 1, Arizona 1

If Purdue simply beats the teams on the schedule that are not receiving votes it goes 9-3, and I think anyone would take that. Here is the coaches poll:

  1. Alabama (57) 1,615
  2. Georgia (6) 1,542

  10. Oklahoma State 938
  11. Michigan State 860
  12. USC 849
  13. North Carolina State 642
