How many times has Colorado gone 9-3 in the last 10 years?

This is true. But just how you don't judge Tennessee purely by the Arkansas game, and Bama solely by the Oklahoma game. You don't judge Colorado solely by that one game. That may have been the best game Nebraska played all season, and the worst game Colorado has played all season.

The problem is that Colorado has lost to a bad Nebraska team, a bad Kansas team, and a mediocre Kansas State team. While beating zero good teams.

Week 3 last season they were going 15-0

ETA: I wasn’t as down on them going into this season, I expected 8 wins. Anything less would be a failure with their cake arse schedule. They won one more than I projected, so congrats I guess. The only “good” team from that conference turned out to not be good (Utah).

The very same teams they were getting absolutely destroyed by last year, they're winning those games this year.


Not true. Colorado was in PAC last year.

Well clearly by your opinion they didn’t even play a good team so they didn’t even have a chance to beat a good team.


Bama lost to bad to mediocre vandy, ou and good Tennessee. Sure they beat a good UGA team and a mid USC but really….that’s it

Ole miss, bad UK, bad to mediocre UF, bad to mediocre LSU. Ok they beat a good UGA team. Beat a mid USC.


Are we even sure UGA is that good?



And even if so if you judged OM and Bama solely on losses well….not good. And if they played CU schedule given their up and down natures I doubt they go undefeated.


Even still taking into account. Who the hell cares? They beat 9 teams on their schedule that’s an incredible year for CU right now and Deion should get credit for that

I’m not here to speculate if a team could beat a good team. I’m just judging off of what I’ve seen. I’ve seen Alabama beat good teams, I haven’t seen Colorado beat good teams. I know it’s possible for Alabama to beat a good team, we have no idea if that is possible for Colorado.

ETA: essentially both teams have bad losses and only one team has good wins, in that scenario you take the team that actually has good wins.

I’ve already said, based on their roster and their schedule I expected them to win 8 games. Sorry that I’m not overly impressed by them winning 9 games. Their schedule was piss poor with zero good teams on it and they still lost 3 games, congrats I guess. The Big12 is a glorified G5 conference at the present moment.

Are you really sure that Vandy, UK, Florida OU are that much better than Nebraska KU and K state?

The Pac 12 outside of Oregon and Washington were dogshit as well. Just last year and the year before, Colorado were losing to a bunch of dogshit teams. Now they are winning 52-0, do you honestly not see a difference?

Yes

ETA: their strength of schedule is 56th out of 67 P4 teams, it’s unquestionably a weak schedule and they still lost 3 games. If they were a good team they would do what Miami, Indiana, and SMU have done versus their weak schedules. And I’m not even convinced those 3 teams are “good”, but they’ve at least dominated their weak schedules. Colorado is worse than Iowa State, congrats I guess.

I don't think people realize how bad Colorado has been this century. You could make an argument that they were the worst Power 5 program over the last 20 years.

They haven't won a bowl game since 2004. Only UTEP, La Monroe and Indiana have a longer drought.

They have 34% winning percentage since 2006. Only a handful of programs have been worse and Kansas is the only P5 program beneath them.

Yes, that is due to playing Oregon on their schedule. They didn't play an Oregon level team this year. But even besides Oregon last year, Colorado looked bad in a lot of football games. They lost by 50 points to a Washington State team that couldn't even make a bowl game. They barely squeaked by a Colorado State team that won 4 games last year.

This is not close to being the same Colorado team as last year.

The same people saying that Colorado couldn't play with the SEC teams this year also said Colorado couldn't win more than four games this year.

Let me know if you can make sense of that in your head.

Except that I said pre-season that they would win 8 games

ETA: the same people celebrating them winning 9 games this season were claiming they were world beaters after going 3-0 last season. See how easy this game is?
