Purdue has seen considerable jumps in the NCAA NET, KenPom and Associated Press rankings following a 2-0 week in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers are now back inside the top 10 of all three following wins over Nebraska and Iowa.

Last week, Purdue defeated then-No. 7 Nebraska 80-77 in overtime and clobbered Iowa 78-57 on Saturday to go 2-0 on a tough road trip. The Boilermakers have now won four straight games and have a tough matchup with No. 1 Michigan on the horizon.

As a result of the four-game winning streak, Purdue has seen an improvement in its rankings in the NCAA NET, KenPom and Associated Press poll. Here's a look at where the Boilers stand in all three.
