GAME Colorado State @ Coach Prime along with Colorado (18) - 10pm EST - ESPN

Everyone hating and missing the bigger picture.

Prime overturned 90% of the roster. Only 10 scholarship players from last year remain and one walk on.

Colorado Roster

He's now 3-0 when a majority of the cfb community said that's not the right way or the way they would do it. This program was 1-11 last year.

What he's done is impressive. They are using their skill set. Air raid offense. They got talent at qb and skill positions. They average 55 rypg. That's horrible. They have no solid depth at the o and d lines.

It's a young season but what he's already accomplished is positive and they'll recruit on this. I'm taking Oregon to win outright but give me Colorado +19.5 on points and the over.

Travis Hunter is doubtful for this game. Huge loss but Colorado can still sling the rock and will score.

Lot of truth here.

Again, when compared with other top 25 teams they've played one of the hardest schedules. TCU is only unranked because CU beat them. I know it's early, but they are a top 35 team in most CPU metrics. I'm not saying they've played a great schedule. But if you're comparing their schedule to those in the top 25, it's harder than everyone else save a few teams. I mean just look at the top 10. Their's has been harder than UGA, Michigan, OSU, USC, PSU, ND and Oregon for sure.

I won't argue that it's been "tougher" in that they've faced two P5 teams, but they have barely escaped in two of their games. That just isn't impressive. You say TCU is only unranked because CU beat them, but are you honestly going to tell me that TCU, who is ranked 55th in the overall efficiency metrics behind a boatload of unranked G5 teams, actually deserves to be ranked?

Glad to hear I’m not the only one. I proudly order 7 7/8 hats when I can find them in men sizes.
 
Norvell took a shot at Prime Time and it backfired. The far better Colorado team won Saturday off the fuel of that fire.

I do think winning @TCU is impressive, no matter the score. And no I don't think they should be ranked because they did lose to CU. Part of the reason their overall efficiency numbers are the way they are is because of that week 1 performance. They've controlled their other two opponents(I understand they weren't good). I do think TCU is a top-35ish team. So I think it's a quality win for sure. That's gotta be one of the best 5 true road wins thus far this season.

Eh, I guess. TCU's defense was bad last year and doesn't seem to be any better this year. They were ranked to start the year based on last year's results, but last year was clearly a fluke based on what they've done the last 5 years overall. They're probably a 7-5 team by the end of the year, so beating them by 3 just isn't very impressive. Back to what I said initially, Colorado's schedule is obviously about to get much more difficult, as it wasn't all that challenging up to this point.

CU did not control Nebraska. Nebraska controlled Nebraska and loved Neon Deion so much that they just kept giving him the game ball..

similar to our love for PJ Fleck..

I wonder how the hype train people are going to handle things when Colorado suffers their first blowout loss to a better team. (Likely coming Saturday)

Assuming the goal posts will just pivot from acting like Colorado is a actual upper level team, to the "PEOPLE JUST WANT TO HATE!" type shit.

It's nauseatingly predictable but you left out the part about the proud, successful black man.

Truth. If there are any they are drugstore cowboys.

And I wish other teams would schedule OOC like Colorado. Three slots open with a nine game conference schedule. Two games against P5 teams from neighboring conferences and a G5 in state rival. That's great OOC scheduling IMO. It is a hell of a lot better than filling four open slots with one P5, two G5 and an FCS team.
