Upsets happen. Lesser programs occasionally surprise people. So CSU beat us once. Big deal.

We'll still beat Utah.

Well that was a blast. I can't believe I'm an hour away from DKR stadium and I couldn't make it work to get the the game.

Go Cougs!

So......either Texas is a really shitty team this year or BYU's on steroids.

On another note, great blow out win from the Utes. Win out those non Pac12 games since it's not going to get any easier.

Texas hasn't been any good for a few years.

You were saying...

I'm not sure Michigan will even be tough after they lost 31-0 to Notre Dame.

Yeah, unfortunately, Fresno looks pretty pathetic this year and man, Michigan? Really? They looked atrocious.

You guys will probably beat Michigan.

Atlas · #**3047** Posted **Sep 8, 2014, 4:56 AM**

I think we have a good chance of beating Michigan, especially with the bye week. I expect to beat Washington State and Colorado, and it doesn't seem too farfetched to beat Arizona and Oregon State. UCLA hasn't been all that impressive either. I don't think we'll beat USC and Oregon, but we do have them at home so anything could happen.

We really just need to play better on the road if we want any chance of making it to a bowl game.

Still waiting for CU to surprise me. Mediocrity continues to be the name of the game.

Cirrus · #**3049** Posted **Sep 10, 2014, 3:41 PM**

Oh, it's generous to call CU "mediocre." Mediocre is what we hope for.

Still better than CSU or Utah.

Wait....what? Are you joking? How is CU better then Utah?

Since both teams have joined the PAC-12

Utah is 2-1 over CU
Bowl games: Utah 1 CU 0 ( CU hasn't been to a bowl since 2007 and haven't won one since 2004 )

CU's record:
2013 4–8 (1–8 Pac-12)
2012 1–11 (1–8 Pac-12)
2011 3–10 (2–7 Pac-12)

Utah's
2013 5–7 (2–7 Pac-12)
2012 5–7 (3–6 Pac-12)
2011 8–5 (4–5 Pac-12) Sun Bowl champions
