They've been A LOT more competitive since they joined the Pac12 because it really opened up California apart from snagging gangbangers from L.A. in the early 90's.

Colorado was SO bad before they joined the PAC and they've definitely taken advantage of the relationship to California being in the Conference.

They've had good teams compared to where they were at previously. I mean they went 10-4 a few years ago. This idea that they're going to ever be early 90's Colorado is NCAA death penalty sanctions away from being a reality.

They also were hurt by the elimination of partial qualifiers.

As stated, the University Admin pretty much killed their program as did the last few shitty hires. Folsom Field is a shite hole and the whole town smells like weed.

They are 43-74 (24-62) in 10 years since joining the PAC with now two Bowl appearances and the one division win you mentioned

Even eliminating the Barnett years, under Hawkins before leaving the Big 12 they were 19-39 (10-27) with a bowl appearance in 5 years. It’s really been more of the same since the scandal under Barnett

In both conferences they were recruiting far from their own backyard in an area that gets picked over. Having zero local base to recruit from and an admin/donor base that doesn’t care is a double whammy
