Colorado real deal?

Georgia Tech being annihilated by Tennessee. Weber State hung 21 on Colorado. I’m not sure those victories say much yet. At least Chip has some good tape to plan his offense.
That Ga Tech Colorado Game was a rough watch. Two teams that looked like they were trying to lose. Mendoza was terribad, but the Colorado QB couldn't make high school level throws...
14 points when the game was still reasonably in reach. It was 42-14 at half so some of the yardage stats were also likely in entire half of garbage time.
A win does not seem at all far-fetched at our farewell game on the lake, but I am assuming nothing either way. Prime is a natural heel so CFB nation will almost always root against him/them; just because he's not as good as his swagger implies doesn't mean the Buffs will be pushovers.
Will GB be there? Seems like he should be if physically able given his past connections to both programs. Also would be interesting to hear his perspective on the recent challenges to coaching/recruiting/NIL.
It appears that GB will be attending the game on Saturday since he is the color commentator for the Colorado radio broadcast. This would be a great opportunity for both school programs to come together and recognize GB’s contributions and do something special pre-game or at halftime to honor him.
After the way we "honored" the 1995 team last season, if I'm GB I'd politely decline any pre-game recognition
Colorado exit was rough for him. So probably not.
Rain and possible thunder Saturday night. Bring a poncho
Last/best chance to do something special for GB as he has turned 80. I still believe NU should do *something* even if it is just to acknowledge that GB is there. His years at NU are so intertwined with NU football history it would be a shame for NU not to make the attempt.
(As an aside watching Lions getting bullied by the Bills 27-10 at the half. Wonder what adjustments Lions offensive passing coordinator Mike Kafka will make at half.)

I believe that they will be a bowl team at end of season. Maybe 8-5 in total or better
That would be great if correct. If NU can put a big beat down on a bowl caliber team, they can beat anyone on a given day.
I would remind that "bowl caliber" these days is pretty much the top 70 teams or anyone with at least a .500 record. Ain't the same as the top 20. We're not beating OSU, Georgia or a bunch of others. Colorado looked gassed by mid third quarter.
Not a chance!
Baylor
Texas Tech
Utah
Oklahoma State
Kansas State
Arizona State
Houston
Cincinnati
UCF
TT, Utah, and Ok State are probably nos, but there are some dreadful teams in the rest of that group they can beat a bunch of
If they manage to beat Baylor…they’re facing a three game losing streak. Could see Sanders losing the team and things spiraling from there. Houston is a top 25 team. I don’t see a path to a bowl game.
I looked it up on Sagarin, and I underrate the Big 12. They don’t have any elite teams - TT is the highest ranked at 17 - but Colorado is rated worst in the conference at 69. So they could indeed have the bottom drop out again.
Watching some of the highlights this game was almost too easy. I think they didn’t have a good defensive gameplan coming in, maybe for lack of tape, and when it wasn’t working it looked like the players dogged it the rest of the game.
Although Colorado is a P4 team with physical and athletic talent, I don’t think it will be remotely this easy even against the lesser B1G competition.

Oh wow, that place sucks! Looks like a library!
I do have to wonder how Colorado’s DC couldn’t think to alert his outside LBs and safety about Himon coming out of the backfield. In addition to the 3 wide open TDs Chiles barely overthrew him on what would have been a fourth.
They are way way way way way way way way way way way way way better than Ball State. Like way way way way way better. Also probably Rutgers.
It's not impossible that's it though.
Rutgers kept USC within a TD the entire game. I don’t think Colorado would do that.
Rutgers also got thei **** kicked out of them by UMass and lost to BC. Rutgers is dreadful.
It will be interesting to see if USC just fell pray to the extremely statistically prevalent bug of West Coast teams in the east and vice versa (the record of teams travelling cross country is absolutely abysmal since the west coast teams joined the conference, it's like a .250 winning percentage and most of the wins are Oregon) or if their defense is once again a mess.
