And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

I for some reason am irrationally angry that CU is ranked. They keep beating shitty teams and now they don’t play another game against a team with a winning record for the rest of the year. These fuckers are going to be 10-2 and the only top 50 teams they played are going to be us and K State (losses).
Right there with you. I’ve been saying for awhile that Big 12 is a joke. And they will be well represented in the bowls.

I’ve already been hearing it here in Colorado. “If we could play you guys now we would win”. How TF do you come to that conclusion? Because you guys barely beat nobodies while we lose to top ten teams? Ok then.
 
Amazing how much easier their schedule got this year. Utah, Okie State, Kansas and Arizona have turned into steaming piles of shit. They could go 10-2 with their best wins being Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Colorado State and North Dakota State.

Then look at our schedule and how much tougher it got with Indianus and Illinois playing at a much higher level than expected.

They have improved, more than I expected, but their schedule has gotten incredibly bad. ESPN has their Strength of Schedule at 72.

Really thought that they would be mailing it in by now.

Schedule is pretty awful, but Prime found an unexpected gem in his DC from the Bengals. That guy brought a lot of competence to that side of the football.

That line for the Texas Tech game on Nov 9th will be really interesting. The a Red Raiders are a mess, but they are a completely different animal at home. Lubbock seems like the kind of place that could derail the Buffs.
 
Learnings from CU this year:

1 - take a lucky play & make it a spark/catalyst for a run. Needed a hail mary to beat a bad Baylor team at home. But that W gave them confidence. They're close to being undefeated since it happened

2 - value of having game breakers and reliable go-to plays. We saw this with OSU as well on Saturday. You will have tough times. But if you have go-plays and go-to players you can break out of it. OSU beat us because they made 3 plays on offense. Sometimes that's all you need


That being said, CU would not beat Indianus, OSU or Illinois.

Just shows how unequal the conferences have become. Colorado might be a top 5 team in the Big 12, but they would be bottom 5 in the B1G.
