Purdue did not even win the Big 10 that year as they did not play in a BCS bowl game at all.
Purdue was not even ranked until AFTER beating KSU in January.
Do some research on stuff before you post things you apparently know nothing about (which seems to be a lot at this time).
Your point: Purdue was not a top 25 team when the played KSU.
Counter point: They won 9 games, and ended the season in the top 25. Why would their ranking before the game matter? When it was all said and done, was Purdue not a top 25 team?
When Deshaun Foster was tearing it up at UCLA, Alabama was ranked #3 and came out to Pasadena to open the season. UCLA kicked the shit out of Bama, and every Bruin fan was stoked about the season. Turns out Bama went on to win three games all year (all 3 against SEC opponents), and UCLA went on to a 6-6 record. When the 2000 season was all said and done, it turns out that Alabama wasn't shit. Just as it turned out in 1998 that Purdue was a good team.

You comparing Drew Brees in college to Drew Brees in the pros at this time is a total joke. If he was great in college he wouldn't have lasted to the second round (pick one) that year. It appears only one QB was taken ahead of him, Vick, but every team passed on him after the #1 pick and fell to San Diego in the 2nd round.
Ok, this right here is all that is needed to prove your complete ignorance.
Your Point: "If he was great in college he wouldn't have lasted to the second round". You are saying that Drew Brees was not that great.
My Counterpoint: Holy shit, are you serious? The guy owns all the Big Ten passing records. He was on the top ten list of the NCAA's all-time passing leaders. He finished in the top five for the Heisman.... TWICE! He won the fricken Maxwell award! That means he was voted by the media and coaches as THE BEST player in all of football. You are unbelievable.
And where a player is drafted is irrelevant to their college performance. Tim Tebow might have two Heisman Trophys and three national championships by the time he is done, and he won't get drafted in the first three rounds. Chris Weinke beat Brees out for the Heisman in 2000, and he went in the fourth round. Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, he was passed up because he is not even 6ft tall?

Until you can come up with a plausible point-counterpoint discussion I will not bother replying to any more garbage you post. You obviously have no idea about college football. Keep pretending you do. Your Drew Brees point just nailed it on that.
I gave you my "counterpoints" to your "points", if that's what those things you wrote are. I played college football for a year. Very good friends of mine played all over the Pac 10 and a couple in the SEC. Four of my friends played in the NFL, 3 of them still do, and two of them are starters. I've played the game, played it with and against some elite talent, and will be around it for the rest of my life.
For you to say that MY point on Drew Brees proves I know nothing about football is about the most outrageous thing I've ever heard in my life.
