I hope it is that close. This one could be very ugly

Road game for A$M at altitude and early in the season. We should be able to keep it to 2 touchdowns

Will CU have any new starters on O?
LT will be new (to that position) and then RT will be a completely new player. SHOULD have a new starting QB and then the "starting" WRs are technically going to be a little different, but shouldn't matter much.

Cu will have multiple new starters too. My point is with luck, home field advantage and a good game plan. CU can win the game. It will be difficult, but CU has a chance.
A&M plays Kent State at home and CU will have UNC at home before this one.
Jesus Christ are we really using a game where we had under 50 scholarship players available as the main criteria to evaluate the team?
WTF?
I’d say it is the most accurate projection we have. Texas had plenty of Covid issues and like 5+ Starters sit the game out
And they still weren’t anywhere near having 48 scholarship players available. I get that it was rough and everything but our defense was completely screwed. Not only good players but depth guys that hasn’t played at all that year were out. That is not a good representation of the team what so ever.
This isn't a complete no-hoper, but it's pretty darn close. We'd need aTm to not mentally show up for the game, and we'd likely have to catch a number of breaks on top of that. Not gonna happen.
Sadly you are right.
This is one of those games where the Xs and Os are fairly meaningless. They have better athletes than we do at almost every position and it won't take them doing anything fancy to beat us.

With a good game plan in College there is always a hope or a chance to win. in the pros if there is a huge talent disadvantage there is not much good coaching can do to bridge the gap. But that is not the case in College. CU can and will win. In fact am going to call it now. CU will beat the Aggies.
0% chance

Even with home field advantage?
I really wonder if you are from the AD sometimes. Nobody can pump that much sunshine without Departmental support.....
Yes. They are a very talented team. It won’t be as bad as many think because these are two run oriented teams but we will visibly be on a lower level than them.

There is always a chance. It might be difficult. But CU can win. Certainly not 0 percent chance.
Okay .001%
You think it's a pick'em game??
I never take anything from a bowl game where the outcome has no implications (such as advancing to the next week).
Jimbo teams are hard to figure. Might be a top 5 team, might be a 5 win team as well. And who knows about KD teams?

I know you have been a jimbo critic for a while now but even if he has an off year in 2021 the talent discrepancy will still be on full display.
Logic
There's the normal amount of doom and gloom from some posters, but mostly just people being realistic about where CU's roster stands vs A&Ms. Then again, you have an, uh, different opinion than most people here about the general talent and depth at CU.
