It’s been a big week for college football rankings, as Purdue University has retained its No. 1 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. This marks the first time in program history that Purdue has held the top spot for two consecutive weeks.
Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic University has achieved its highest ranking in program history, coming in at No. 17 in the AP poll. This is the first time that the Owls have cracked the top 25, and it’s a huge accomplishment for the program.
Purdue’s success is due in large part to its strong defense, which has allowed the fewest points per game in the Big Ten this season. The Boilermakers have also been able to move the ball effectively on offense, averaging over 400 yards per game.
Florida Atlantic’s rise to No. 17 is even more impressive, considering that the Owls were unranked at the beginning of the season. Led by quarterback Chris Robison, FAU has been able to put up big numbers on offense, averaging over 500 yards per game. The Owls’ defense has also been solid, allowing just over 20 points per game.
The success of both Purdue and Florida Atlantic is a testament to the hard work and dedication of their respective coaching staffs and players. It’s also a reminder that anything is possible when it comes to college football rankings. With a few more wins, both teams could find themselves even higher in the rankings.
