Man, missed it by that much.
CFN has their season preview for CSU up, ranking them #89 (they have us #54).
The Rams lose QB Nick Stevens, WR Michael Gallup, and three strong starters on the O line. In all, eight starters are gone from the attack. Three starters are gone from the defensive line and seven starters in all are done on the defensive side.

Not worried.
Guaranteed win, right?

In a CU coach's sixth year it better be.
12 out of 22 starters gone including their best player and QB going against a team that outclasses them at every position anyways, so yeah, guaranteed win.
It should be a guaranteed win every year, especially this year but it is also a strange series where CSU often plays over their heads and the Buffs have sometimes not shown up resulting in embarrassing losses.
It seems like Mac understands that and we haven't been seeing the bad games that we saw under some prior coaches but I still worry until proven otherwise.
Exactly what else would prove it to you then? You just stated it.
I am worrying less with Mac than I did before but we are still not good enough to simply mail in a game like this one. Until we are I will always be aware of the potential, and hope the team is as well
Until CU never loses to CSU again! Then he’ll be proven otherwise and believe it, of course!
Actually lets just blow them out solidly until the end of the contract and then move on to a different opponent.
That's kind of a terrible list they put together. They basically listed all the G5, then list all the P5 with very little overlap between the two group. Heck their worst P5 was #80 Kansas. No way there are 50 G5 teams worse than Kansas.
Good point. I don't think it's possible for Dan to coach that many teams at once.
I’m not convinced it’s possible for him to coach one team at a time.
I think this list is a little better top to bottom. They have lil bro at 87 and CU at 71.

That was pretty good Spiff.
It's possible...just not pretty.
Bill C's preview of the rams is up. Man does this team lose a lot.

Worth noting that CU is listed at the bottom as about a two point favorite in the RMS with an S+P projection of 89. Sounds about right, though his system doesn't take JuCos or transfers into account very well. I would say his system underrates CU, but I thought that last year and we fought hard to prove it right
Still waiting for the FBI to wrap up the investigation on that one.
In before "why are we playing this game [again]"
I BELIEVE THE REFEREE IS IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY IN ORDER TO FLIP ON THE REST OF THE CREW. THE HAMMER WILL FALL.*

I don't see how the analytics article has us losing to CSU. Even ignoring the obvious of CU having a much, much, much more talented team across the board, what analytics could possibly point to CSU having any kind of advantage in that game?
He's projecting us to win.
