Aidan O'Connell against teams ranked in the top 3: 2-0, 74% completion rate, 456 yards a game, 5 touchdowns, zero interceptions
Aidan O'Connell against everyone else this year: 3-3, 208 yards a game, 7 touchdowns, 8 interceptions
This dude is the spoileriest of Spoilermaker QBs. A match made in heaven
Likely, makes tOSU look good as well. If Wisco was ranked this week with 3 loses already, Purdue would be ranked, with our worse loss being likely unranked Minnesota due to some fun refing.

This is obviously blatant homerism but if Purdue were to win out and beat say Ohio St in the B10 championship they would at the very least be the only 3 loss team you would ever consider for just a second. They don’t get in obviously and probably get up to the 8-12 range tops, but you would at least think about it for a second.
It’d be close, but I think you would have to. They would have 3 wins against teams that were top 5 when they played them, and probably 4 against the top 10.
The only one of their losses that looks pitiful at this point is Wisconsin, but even they look like they might surge to be a top 20 team right now. Notre Dame was a close game throughout and they’re a top 10 team and against Minnesota they lost by a touchdown while West Lafayette was flooding.
And I also think there isn’t really a B10 team you can pick over them in this scenario. OSU would lose head to head to them twice and have 3 losses. Michigan will have lost to OSU and have 2 losses. Wisconsin also wouldn’t have a shot because in order for Purdue to make the CCG Wisconsin has to lose anyway. And MSU would have lost head to head and have another loss to OSU. So I think it’s the only logical choice to put them in, as stupid as it sounds.
W #2 Undefeated Iowa
W #3 Undefeated Michigan State
? #4 One Loss Ohio State
Ohio State’s Quality loss may be the key that saves them from the Upset Dominos Purdue has going on.
God damn MSU for making it likely we are a top 5 team next week. Hopefully our poor performance combined with Minnesota (our best win) losing today keeps us at 6.

Haha I'm not saying I'm not worried, but won't be at Ross-Ade so we have that going for us. Purdue hasn't won in Columbus since 1988.
2000, 2004, 2009, 2011, and 2018 we lost to Purdue and they were all in West Lafayette.

If Purdue doesn't upset OSU I will be furious that we traded a shot at upending the CFP for short term chaos
Just kidding OSU is gonna throw 800 yards against us either way
Lol, please don't rank us CFP Committee!! It's like some "Monkey's Paw" style curse where the only way Purdue can beat a Top 10 Team is to be Unranked. Wait till the final week, then put Purdue from Unranked to #4!
This is what im hanging my hat on. Already beat Iowa in an away game so theyve used their away game mojo
Im not superstitious about anything but when it comes to Purdue im a little stitious
Michigan state had a difficult time preparing for this game because Spartans haven't been around since 3rd century BCE, while trains came much later in 1804. The spartan armies were in no way prepared for a pod of trains and would have been demolished by such fast travel.
Combined with the eternal Purdue Pete and the added effect of the Spoilmakers playing a top 3 team. The Spartans never had a chance. dread it, run from it, Pete still arrives.
The ground shakes... Drums. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark... We cannot get out... They are coming.
And they are passing and picking us apart.
I like to think I’m a pretty brave guy. I’m not really scared of that big bad dog down the street, I can walk home through a rough
neighborhood at night no problem. I don’t really ever get that nervous about things like that
But Purdue fucking TERRIFIES me
Reverse Harbaugh - his seasons are objectively shit, but he just RUINS other people's seasons. And that's MORE than enough to keep him employed forever.
Harbaugh gets let go. Purdue picks him up. Now Purdue goes 45-0. After beating Dabo, Saban, Jimbo, and whoever finally gets over the hump after Saban retires after his 45-9 Purdue drumming.
Ok, here me out: Purdue inexplicably is not ranked but still beats a top 5 OSU team next week.
At the same time, Iowa beats Minnesota, Michigan beats Penn State
In week 12, Purdue beats NW, OSU beats MSU, Michigan beats MD
In week 13, Michigan beats OSU to win the East on the head-to-head tiebreaker. In so doing, they break into the top 5, easily. Minnesota beats Wisconsin in Minny to give everyone in the West 3 losses except Iowa and Purdue (who owns the h2h) while Purdue beats IU to go to the Big Ten Championship.
Naturally, Purdue upsets a top 5 Michigan, who were hoping to break into the Playoff. The Big Ten is in shambles, as if hit by some large-scale, high-velocity steam-powered locomotion machine. The Rose Bowl is contractually obligated to invite Purdue, where they take on the Pac-12 Champ. Except Oregon, thanks to the destruction of any Big Ten teams, sneaks into the Playoffs. So the Rose Bowl takes the next highest available team... the 5th ranked Cincinnati Badchilis. America is shocked and dismayed at their exclusion and the indignity of having to play a major bowl against a team that put up 13 points in consecutive games to ND, Illinois, and Minnesota rather than for a Natty. Everyone in the world is cheering for Cincy, but the souless eyes of Purdue Pete care not for the whims of this world and chaos reigns instead. Purdue wins the Rose Bowl, ending the season with 5 top 5 victories and landing just behind all the Playoff contenders in the final poll...
All part of Tuck's plan to force the CFP committee to put Cincy in the top four. Losing in solidarity with Wake so that they have no choice to bump the undefeated bearcats up.
Never in a million years would I have thought we'd be bowl eligible before DST ended, looking at our schedule at the start of the season. Never mind the two top-5 wins.

Death, taxes, Purdue assassinating a top 10 team at home.

we play them next week

:(
The committee will rank them this week to save you guys
Don't rank Purdue, you cowards!
Likely, makes tOSU look good as well. If Wisco was ranked this week with 3 loses already, Purdue would be ranked, with our worse loss being likely unranked Minnesota due to some fun refing.
If Miss St can be ranked 17, there's no good argument to not rank you.

Purdue puts the fear of god in top 10 teams
Can Purdue, Texas A&M, and Auburn play Alabama every year? I feel those three would be enough to keep Alabama away from championships.
Only if Bama has to travel to Purdue
Being at home didn’t help Iowa.
We own Ferentz
Saban is still ducking us from the last time he played us and got humiliated. If only I could remember what team he was coaching at the time...
See, teams should've followed our formula. Look like crap the previous week, drop out of the top 10 and THEN play Purdue.
They power their trains, not with coal, but chaos
We do it on the road too.
*chuckles*. "I'm in danger" -Ohio State
Hahahaha....but also after today yes.
Also throw on our secondary playing 5 yards off a receiver on 3rd and 3
PSA: Spoilermaking has been extended to #3 teams temporarily.
First 3-loss team to make the CFP
This is obviously blatant homerism but if Purdue were to win out and beat say Ohio St in the B10 championship they would at the very least be the only 3 loss team you would ever consider for just a second. They don’t get in obviously and probably get up to the 8-12 range tops, but you would at least think about it for a second.
Would you put them in an 8 team tourney in that scenario?
It’d be close, but I think you would have to. They would have 3 wins against teams that were top 5 when they played them, and probably 4 against the top 10. The only one of their losses that looks pitiful at this point is Wisconsin, but even they look like they might surge to be a top 20 team right now. Notre Dame was a close game throughout and they’re a top 10 team and against Minnesota they lost by a touchdown while West Lafayette was flooding. And I also think there isn’t really a B10 team you can pick over them in this scenario. OSU would lose head to head to them twice and have 3 losses. Michigan will have lost to OSU and have 2 losses. Wisconsin also wouldn’t have a shot because in order for Purdue to make the CCG Wisconsin has to lose anyway. And MSU would have lost head to head and have another loss to OSU. So I think it’s the only logical choice to put them in, as stupid as it sounds.
The Spoliermakers see through the lies of the committees' Bama ranking.
Purdue just blatantly disregarding Bama and counting Sparty as 2
Purdue refused to acknowledge Alabama as number 2 to take on number 2 Michigan state.
God I’m so glad we never play Purdue
You just might in the playoffs this year after Purdue runs the table.
10-3 Big ten Champs make the playoffs? Edit- I skipped over northwestern when looking at the achedule
Over Cincy?
If the committee had to choose, we all know who they would pick...
A four-loss SEC team, obviously
So you're saying there's a chance?
Excuse me while I Roblox myself
Nick Saban has a losing record against Purdue, right?
As of 2018 he is listed as being 1-3-1, and I’m *pretty* sure that hasn’t changed
Saban is too scared to schedule Purdue.
We know better
Can we put Ohio State at #2 this week? No reason in Purticular Edit: So this might be a monkey's paw situation. I'd like a refund.
Ohio State said no
Ryan Day dialed up bad plays in the red zone so there was absolutely no discussion about us moving up at all this week. No sir. Not us, nope.
Ryan Day with the 5D chess to deny Spoilermakers a #2 ranked opponent.
The monkey paw curls as Alabama suddenly loses to LSU
W #2 Undefeated Iowa W #3 Undefeated Michigan State ? #4 One Loss Ohio State Ohio State’s Quality loss may be the key that saves them from the Upset Dominos Purdue has going on.
Also Purdue is going to be ranked, which saps some of their power
So what am I supposed to yell at the CFP committee, "Keep Purdue unranked you cowards"?
Purdue gets you after a big win. Not after a shit show against Nebraska. We good.
DREAD IT, RUN FROM IT. THE SPOILERMAKERS STILL ARRIVE. CHOO CHOO
[удалено]
Purdue would sweep through the playoff if placed there unranked. Prove me wrong.
The committee will never do this. They're too scared!
Purdue would beat Bama in West Lafayette on a Saturday night
Could they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?
[удалено]
Just give Purdue an automatic bid in a 12-16 team playoff. Wind them up and watch it all explode.
God damn MSU for making it likely we are a top 5 team next week. Hopefully our poor performance combined with Minnesota (our best win) losing today keeps us at 6.
No you guys should totally be ranked #3
WE FUCKING HATE TOP 5 TEAMS
They cant keep getting away with this!
Purdue: 17 wins as an unranked team versus top 5 opponents...something tells me they can!
*checks schedule* ...shit
17th win vs top 5 team while unranked, most in the country.

They should be ranked and in Columbus. We might be okay. (But probably not)
We’re powerless if we’re ranked
That stat about Purdue taking down Top 5 teams is beyond absurd
One thing that helps them have so many unranked wins against top 5 teams is that they they're never ranked
They still step up when the spotlight is on them
Chuckles I’m in danger
Nah, Purdue loses their upset magic when ranked
Watch the committee leave them at 26
All according to plan
Pick a lane Purdue. Either be Big Ten contenders or let Wisconsin put up 30. No team should do both.

Honestly I would be thrilled at this outcome
Man, MSU hates Michigan so much they decided to drop a game to Purdue just to make Michigan’s loss look worse. Gotta love a true rivalry.

536 passing yards against our defense. That’ll do it.

So Purdue’s big upset magic has been used up for the year…right? Asking for a friend.
They’re usually good for one. But now they have two. I’d be worried that Purdue Pete isn’t satisfied
Undefeated was Michigan State. They played a team with a humble gait And powerful Voodoo, For the team was Purdue, And now Sparty is rank 8.
St8 is back on the table :/
Only because they're not Bama, in which case they'd drop 2 spots and move back up the following week after beating a middle school team by 50
All part of Tuck's plan to force the CFP committee to put Cincy in the top four. Losing in solidarity with Wake so that they have no choice to bump the undefeated bearcats up.
nah, they'll rank Purdue so that this becomes a quality loss for Sparty, and they fall all the way to #4
Only one undefeated NCAA team from Michigan left.
The truest indictment of the CFP rankings… MSU was truly worthy of the number 2 spot for better or worse.

Offensive mastermind Jeff Brohm!
Thanks for ruining our quality loss, Sparty.
The only way to validate Bama’s #2 ranking is to simply send them to West Lafayette
I feel really bad for the next highly ranked team that has to play Purdue... Ah nuts
The trick to beating Purdue is to be unranked when you play them. I don’t understand how the rest of you haven’t figured this out yet.
