Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Purdue fans and fans across the country.

Purdue football season is less than two weeks away and so I want to know not how many total wins Purdue football will have, but how many Big Ten wins the team will have. You might recall that last year, 2025, Purdue football had 0 conference wins. In the year before that, 2024, Purdue also walked away with 0 conference wins. Now, 2023? That’s a whole other story. Purdue won 3 Big Ten wins that year. Oh what a year it was. Wins over Illinois, Minnesota, and of course perrenial college football powerhouse Indiana. It truly was a golden age of Purdue football. Don’t bother looking up the details of that. Trust me, I’m right. Results will come later in the week.

We’ve also got an extra question for you from the national folks.
