After 6 games last season, Michigan's defense was holding teams to 6.3 points per game and 65.8 yards rushing per game.

In game 12, Ohio State scored 42 points and rushed for 369 yards against them. The same thing will happen this season.

You mean the defense that Colorado moved the ball up and down the field against (until their QB got hurt) might have issues defending Curtis Samuel?

They can throw their "best pass defense in college football" award in with all of their September Heisman trophies.

Guess what, guys? You're probably going to kick the [Mark May] out of Penn State today. That doesn't mean your overall lack of elite talent won't be exposed again when you finally play a top tier team.

I can see the morons now. Majority of their fan base actually thinks Colorado is just as good as Oklahoma. A win over a lowly Penn State will only fuel those clowns into further false hope.

They don't need any fuel.

Overconfident, wrong and arrogant is how they choose to go through life.

Congrats, they won in Autzen for the first time since the 60s?
This totally means all the Juniors and Seniors will be "competitive" in 2 years after they leave and CU is still recruiting amongst the worst P5 schools in the nation.

It's funny how easily people get duped into going all-in over 1 or 2 results. DFBIA thinks they're going to the NC. People here think CU has turned some magical corner after finally beating a conference rival not named Oregon State.

I get that you're in your engineer locked on a single track mode on this and that you've got some fundamental dislike for CU, Boulder, and CU fans, but my initial claim was only that I'd be disappointed and surprised if CU didn't make a minor bowl this year. I followed up your objections to that with the following about CU:

. . . a good school in a good conference in a great location and there's no good reason why they can't go minor bowling pretty much every year with an occasional conference-title contending season (at least until USC gets its [Mark May] together) MacIntyre inherited a mess after Hawkins dug a grave for the program and had the players looking into it and then Embree (a Lou Tepper-level bad coach) shoved them in and brought in a cement truck to fill the hole. They now have upgraded their facilities and are starting to pick things up in recruiting somewhat. Not sure if MacIntyre's the long-term answer yet (this season and the next one or two will tell the tale), but someone can be.

That's hardly "getting duped into going all-in", but compared to 2-3 years ago, only a fool would think that CU hasn't turned a corner. As far as recruiting goes, per 24/7 composite, their 2017 class, the first that will come in after the major facilities upgrades, is, for now, ranked 34th, admittedly after wallowing down in the 60s for the last several years. Finally, per that AP thing, over their entire program history, CU is the #27 program of all time (4th smong current PAC-12 programs): http://collegefootball.ap.org/top-100

In short, it's less unreasonable to expect that in the long-term CU will be a middle-tier or maybe slightly better than that PAC-12 team that goes to minor bowls most years with occasional runs at conference titles than to think that they'll be a perennial doormat.
