Let me get this straight.

In case you haven't noticed, the Purdue Boilermakers are having themselves quite the basketball season. They are 6-1 in the Big Ten, winning Saturday against #11 Wisconsin. That one loss was by 3 on the road in East Lansing against at the time #6 Michigan State, a game in which they lost by 3. They've also beat #20 (at the time) Louisville.
They do, of course, have a stretch where they lost to Wofford (what the hell is a Wofford?) and Iowa State. But do a couple bad losses supercede more good wins and a 6-1 record in a major conference? Well, 4-3 Marquette and 4-3 Pittsburgh are ranked 16 and 21 respectively. 6-1 Georgetown is #6. So, 6-1 should certainly be a good enough record to get a spot in the top 25.
But what do I know. Purdue's victim, Wisconsin, moved up 6 spots in the polls, while Purdue still had 8 teams between them and #25 in the rankings, including Louisville, who they beat. I don't understand.I don't have the energy to elaborate, but Boiled Sports does. Go there. Now.
