The season is at least scheduled to kick off in 30 days, and that means preseason polls. This is going to be a very weird year (if it happens) and Purdue is not very favored. It once again received no votes in the preseason poll, but the schedule offers plenty of opportunity to achieve the program’s first top 25 rankings since 2007.
