You don’t think UW would shut them down? Maybe I’m still extremely skeptical of tosh, but I don’t consider Oregon’s defense “good” and CU got easily shut out in Eugene aside from a garbage time td by CUs starters against walk ons and freshmanRoadDawg55 said:
Better take than saying Golden State should bench Draymond Green for Kuminga in the NBA Finals. You also overrate high school guys every single year.ntxduck said:
“Dangerous shootout” is pretty lol. UW would hold them to single digits like Oregon did (technically a shutout but it was really important for prime to risk his kid getting hurt to put 6 on the board against walk ons I guess).dnc said:
In defense of my boy Roadie he didn't say he'd be afraid of Colorado generally, he did say he didn't want to go to Boulder. And he was talking about them with Hunter. Not as embarrassing as I was thinking.ntxduck said:

Colorado has Travis Hunter. A five star, top 10 freshman CB is third string. Their secondary is better. UW’s defense last year was probably worse.theknowledge said:
They have 22 good to great CFB players. Do they have 50? Depth and defense are my concerns for 7-9 wins. UW gave up 40 twice last year with a decimated secondary. Colorado was fully healthy when TCU torched them for 42. EWIWBIRoadDawg55 said:

Not a genius but his OC is a good coach and he gets his guys ready to go. Beating TCU was a win I didn’t think he’d get. Nebraska was always a toss up and CSU is bad. He will be 3-0 after next week but the P12 is tough this year. His team is thin on players. If they stay healthy 6-6 seems on the table. That would be pretty amazing. That defense is bad and thin. I imagine they’ll get worse, not better as the year goes on. The offensive line isn’t great and I’d think his son will take a pounding. 3-9 was my original thought but I’ll think anywhere from 4-8 - 7-5 is on the table depending on injuries.HHusky said:
Surprising they beat TCU. Fortunate to win, but a win is a win. Good for them. But TCU is no better than mediocre.creepycoug said:
I feel like the goal posts are being moved for Coach Prime. We are talking about a team that was Cal-too-high away from Owen last season, and not a single loss was even close, or close to being close. I've been told it's impossible to compete in P5 first year after a thorough roster ass cleaning. Now we're saying anything less than 5-7 is an abject failure? Well, it would represent a 4 to 6 win improvement over last year, despite said roster turnover.HHusky said:

TCU frittered away about 20 points through its offense's incompetence when presented opportunities.
If I had to bet, after this weekend's meeting of mediocre teams in Boulder, the Buffs will be 1-1.
As good as the rest of your analysis and takes.
And 3 - 0 after CSU is more than likely. 'Cuz CSU. And they get to play both Arizona schools this year.
Less than 5 -7 seems like an abject failure.
I don't get it. The guy has turned out to be a semi-serious coach with ambition to get his team to be better. Nobody doubts that when they run into SC, UW and UO that they're going to get their asses kicked at least two out of those three, and lose the other one. But you have to give him a fair standard to beat and not move it around every week he wins.
Nebraska is terrible--can't execute a snap or a handoff without giving the ball to the opposition. At this rate, they might win 3 this year, assuming they beat their 2 remaining non-Power 5 foes.
Colorado State looked pretty awful.
Personally, I never claimed it's impossible to bring in a whole new team and win. It happens in the NFL from time to time. In an era of unlimited free agency, it'll happen in college too.
So he'd be a genius at 5-7?
Smalls is third string. They aren’t deep but they have some talent on defense. Their offense is legit, even with a bad OL. They can get away with it in the PAC 12. I’m glad we aren’t going to Boulder this year. That game would be a dangerous shootout.
UW would not hold the Buffs to single digits. Colorado has already exceeded the bullshit you posted in this thread. -
Honestly, that was just going to be one of those days for the Buffs. Every team has a game like that. Sanders has shown he's a player and given just the minimal amount of time has burned people with his accuracy. More often than not, yes, I'd expect Colorado to score on Oregon and Washington. To the extent of USC? No. But SC is always hyped; we? just don't say that a lot around here because we? care about that respeck. I think 14 to 21 pts. from CU on either team would be a reasonable expectation. The problem is still going to be that they'll give up 40+ntxduck said:

It's a closer game at Colorado but not as close as USC made it. Oregon has a better defense

4-8 is still in play.

I think they take 2 of those, or at the very least one. But you're right - quite possible.theknowledge said:4-8 is still in play.

I think they'll go 7-5, maybe 6-6. Clearly they're a better team, but last night was embarrassing. There's no excuse for blowing a four TD lead to anyone, much less Stanfruad.theknowledge said:4-8 is still in play.

@RoadDawg55 did not have his reads down. Prime sucks.
