Purdue’s profile took a small hit in the past week. A 24 point blowout loss will do that. Purdue clearly played its worst game of the season last Thursday, but in his Friday update Joe Lunardi still had Purdue on the one line. Then Sunday happened. Even though Purdue won, a lackluster effort against a sub-100 team at home did more damage than the Michigan loss. In a strange way, the Michigan loss actually boosted the profile briefly. The Wolverines won by so much they jumped to 30 in the NET for a short time, making Purdue’s home win over them a tier 1 win before they lost to Ohio State.
