Is Purdue officially slumping? The Boilermakers have lost three of their last four games and two of them were in blowout fashion. Naturally, that has led to some slippage in the polls. This week's AP poll is now out and even thought he last two losses were to ranked teams, Purdue has slipped down to No. 21 this week.
