College Football Bowl Projections Week 3: Wait… is that PURDUE’s Music?

When was the last time bowl projections were relevant around here? I know we haven’t bothered much with them in recent seasons because early in the year Purdue wasn’t expected to contend anyway and late in the year we were already eliminated. Even in 2012, Purdue last bowl season, Purdue was considered out of it until winning its last three games to go 6-6 and earn an unmerciful beating by Oklahoma State in Dallas.

After beating Missouri, however, a path to a bowl is there. The easiest way is to beat Rutgers and Illinois, two teams that are widely considered to be the two worst in the conference, then get 2 out of 4 from Northwestern, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Indiana.
