And look what they did to Washington.
The only reason our game with USC was that close is their four turnovers. They could have scored again at the end of the game and elected to run out the clock. They put up over 500 yards of offense on us. That 21-17 score could have easily been 45-17. USC is a much better team than CU. it's ok to admit that.
The comparative results against Washington will have more to do with why USC will be ahead of us than our head to head matchup IMO, though losing to them doesn't help either.USC is better, but not more deserving. Even being better is arguable based on head to head. They won by 4 at their house against our backup QB.

Remove the word "much" and I would agree with you...
San Antonio is in the middle of one of our major recruiting bases. This will also give our incoming Texas recruits to, maybe, be around the team and our current Texas guys to have family attend. So there.It's a shame that there wasn't an upset..... either CU or Va Tech.... we would have been able to settle all of these arguments!!
Anyway..... I hear that it is Alamo bound for us!
I can understand being more excited for the Rose Bowl, but some perspective is needed if you cannot get excited for the Alamo Bowl.
When do we find out? I thought the other Big bowls would be shortly after?
But it wasn't. What happened happened. The result is what matters and the result was that SC needed a comeback in the 4th quarter at home to beat a Colorado team without it's starting QB.And look what they did to Washington.

Turnovers is what we do. Now they somehow don't count?And look what they did to Washington.

They were probably playing much better than us at the end of the season, but that doesn't make them a much better team. The season started in September. Not when Helton came to his senses and started the best QB he had.

...sidebar comment...what is your avatar gonna be after today jensie?
I think we lost some benefit of the doubt for losing games without Sefo after that performance against Washington.
You will find some that agree with you, but this is completely false.Maybe I'm biased, we'll probably extremely biased. My neighbors woke me up at 2AM on Thursday and I couldn't fall asleep again. I slept maybe 2 hours that night and came
Home Friday and wanted to nap and couldn't. I fell asleep at halftime, I was out cold. I never saw that second half, haven't seen lowlights, replays or read the box score. But it can't be worse than how USC looked against Alabama and if you can ignore that game, you can ignore this one. Either way, from what I know it was evident sefo shouldn't have gone back in.

You can't ignore any result. But I've seen lots of people arguing that our first 2 loses came when Sefo didn't play or finish the game - that's a much shallower argument today after the Washington loss.Maybe I'm biased, we'll probably extremely biased.

When they happen is a factor. Why do you think the sec schedules Chattanooga in week 11 and not another game against a conference foe?
Because CU deserves to be in the Rose Bowl. On it's own, there is nothing wrong with the Alamo, but if CU gets knocked behind of USC because they played an extra CHAMPIONSHIP game, then that is bull****, plain and simple. Buffs ended regular season ahead of USC and USC sitting at home doing nothing should never move them ahead of a team that went and played an extra game against the 4th ranked team in the country.
Why wouldn't you be excited for the Alamo Bowl?
I agree. But do you think if roles were reversed (and we beat them) and USC was 10-2 and playing in the championship game and lost how we did that anyone would be debating their position? There wouldn't be a SINGLE person on earth who would be debating on if colorado was more deserving.
If someone told us Alamo Bowl at the beginning of the season we would all take it in a second. What stings is coming so close to the Rose bowl (or more) and losing it. It's nice to have expectations again.
Mebbe. If we had their roster. (no offense to any buffs out there, i love you)
It didn't matter when CU beat Nebraska and was ranked behind them...we were pissed about it than, can't accept it now.
