Purdue, at least for 2033 and 2034, went after scheduling an SEC school with a home-and-home series:
Purdue and Ole Miss have agreed to a two-year series in football. Purdue will play at Ole Miss on September 10, 2033. Ole Miss will come to Purdue on September 9, 2034.https://t.co/GeubeT8OqN pic.twitter.com/UGzf1Jqotr

Purdue will be traveling to take on Ole Miss in 2033, while the Rebels will visit the Boilermakers in 2034. The two teams have met once before, back in 1929 when Purdue won 27-7.
This season, the Boilermakers faced Nevada, Vanderbilt and TCU in its non-conference schedule. Purdue appears to have no problem going against teams in other Power 5 conferences.
