Are you referring to final rankings? Those aren't out yet but let's assume that Purdue doesn't make it into the top 25 but technically, we won't know until after the bowl games are played.

In 1975, was USC the only team we played that ended in the final AP rankings? I believe that was the case but I could be wrong. Also, AP only ranked 20 teams at that time.
