What purpose does this post serve? They won at Indiana and at ND by 11 in a game where they missed two easy field goals. Does one loss Alabama (to an unranked team) deserve it more? Iowa, who lost to an unranked team? Oregon, who lost to an unranked team? Ohio State, who lost at home to Oregon without their best player? Michigan, who eeked it out against Nebraska and Rutgers? Penn State, who lost to Iowa the week before Purdue beat the shit out of them? Oklahoma, who lucked out against three loss Texas?
