Much of the narrative this season is that the transfer portal and new NIL rules have contributed to more parity, and there is no dominant team. However, the Purdue Boilermakers have a legitimate claim of being in a tier by themselves after retaining their No. 1 ranking despite a road loss at Indiana on Saturday. The Boilermakers went from being the first unanimous top-ranked team this season to garnering 38 of the 62 first-place votes this week. They get their first test this week when hosting the Iowa Hawkeyes.
