How long until Colorado implodes?

Helps they played one more game … if we win Saturday then we are both 6-2. Their schedule isn’t exactly murders row, they play 1 ranked team this year as a P5. The Big 12 is soft.

The perception, err reality, is they’re 6-2.

No one cares about the other stuff.

Yeah, and people should pick a lane. You lose to all those teams the last two years, "you're terrible!". Then you beat them all this year, "well, they're terrible!"

Thought about this thread when the Buffs became bowl eligible before we did, thought it might be fun to bump it.

Good for them. Will be interesting to see what Prime does without Shadeur and Hunter.

Not much to talk about after we laid an egg at Pitt. Need a win so that we all can have something to talk about again.

For what it is worth, Massey ranks Colorado’s schedule 27th and Syracuse’s 69th.

Colorado is much improved. Have to give them props.

Maybe…but I think people are overlooking how much college football has changed and how many challenges exist at Florida State now. I’ll put it this way - if someone said (Florida State/Colorado) win the national championship in 2030; I’d have a hard time believing either but think Colorado is more likely.

Looking at how FSU has done the last seven years, last year might have been a “dead cat bounce”.

Massey needs to recheck his numbers. They play 1 just 1 ranked team I call BS. It CV was built based upon Arizona and UCF being good and they aren’t. With each loss that strength will drop … U of A has been Babered.

I’m sure your formula is much smarter

Unfortunately people only paid attention to his "Primetime" persona. In just about every interview I've seen his former teammates in college and the NFL said he was 100% business on the practice field and "Primetime" was left in the locker room. I'm willing to bet his practices in Jackson and Boulder were and are the same way. There's room for fun, but at appropriate times.

One positive thing that the "Primetime" persona does do for his teams is to draw away the close scrutiny so they can do their work without distractions from the press, etc.

Someone said that FSU would have to pay Norvell over 60 million if they fired him.

Well your argument for Massey is very compelling…let me roll my eyes a minute.

39) Syracuse​

Preseason Projected Win-Loss Record: 7.2-4.8
Preseason Strength of Schedule Rank: 67
Week 10 Projected Win-Loss Record: 8.1-3.9
Remaining Strength of Schedule Rank: 3

50) Colorado​

Preseason Projected Win-Loss Record: 6.6-5.4
Preseason Strength of Schedule Rank: 36
Week 10 Projected Win-Loss Record: 7.8-4.2
Remaining Strength of Schedule Rank: 50

Their schedule strength has dropped as some of their opponents haven’t lived up to billing, really not difficult. Utah playing like crap and a few others tanking have dramatically impacted their SOS but please stick with Massey if that’s what you want to do.

They will end up in a decent bowl playing what could be another ranked opponent and get smoked … cool.

Well your argument for Massey is very compelling… I’m actually quite good at math, had the second highest placement score in all of engineering my freshman year at LC Smith.

Such a great post you had to do it twice.

Thats a forum glitch … I didn’t post it twice

Prime at FSU would be a lot of fun - gotta admit it. Hate FSU, but he'd be an amazing fit. They'd be like Miami in the '80's fun.

I agree. Love prime

To be fair, neither is SU's schedule.

Our schedule is definitely tougher.

I never said ours was … but to argue their schedule is that much more difficult than ours is laughable.

 

[Orangepace]

Where’d I make that argument? To argue our schedule is murders row would be laughable too. We play a lot of peer schools this year. Doesn’t make it easy, but compared to next year, this schedule is a cupcake.

I didn’t say you did … you replied to my reply to someone else. My argument was never that we had a monster schedule my argument was Colorados was no tougher than ours, that was pretty much it.
