ours. But both schools are in Colorado and I can't help but wish the best for both schools. But, I don't think any of the so called football pundits have very much respect for the Pac 12 in football.

Confused by the facts
Yeah, it's been a relatively unexciting year in the Pac-12.
But saying the Pac-12 is "no better than the MWC" is laughable. I actually got a chuckle out of that.

Some P5 conferences have their ups and downs. The PAC-12's day will come.
I can only imagine how horrible it must be to believe this, while simultaneously knowing that the team you root for will never be invited to a P5 conference.

OP is WAC
Dumb and Dumber.
In casperram’s defense, he probably thought that his team wouldn’t epically sheet the bed.
Was this thread posted before or after the lambs choked away a 28 point lead?
Looks like after CSU jumped to the early lead and Rammie fans were feeling their beer muscles.

Well, that was just adorable. I hope that li'l scallywag comes back with some more humor.
Did the Ewes play yesterday? Did not hear a score so have no idea if they won or lost. Not important enough to Google the score
I don't know much about the WAC and haven't followed CSU, so I looked up their conference standings.
Apparently they play in the Mountain West, and apparently they sit in the middle of their conference.
So let's play with the premise of the OP for a moment.
What if we ranked Pac teams 1-12 (we could use the ESPN power rankings for instance) and the Mountain conference did the same. And each team plays the team of the corresponding rank in the other conference. What happens?
I don't imagine that a single Mountain team would be favored. Football being football, there might be some upsets. But it's possible, even likely that The Pac would go 12-0 or 11-1. Hypothetical, I know, and certainly Mountain fans are welcome to disagree.
We've seen that CSU can beat the Pac's worst team. And we've seen that they can't beat another bad Pac team on a neutral field.
I don't think the assertion of the OP would really stack up in reality. I'm not saying some Mountain teams couldn't beat some Pac teams. Only that top to bottom, the two conferences don't compare.

CSU fans cheer for the Rams on Saturday and want the Broncos to win on Sunday.
Between the late kickoff and OT, they got what they wanted.

Guess this is the best place to put this:
I went to the game in Ft Collins last night. Some high school buddies who went to CSU were bugging me to go (and paid for my ticket), so I decided to go, check out their stadium, the unis and I'd never seen Boise play before, too, so I thought that would be interesting.
First things first - in the interest of fairness, their stadium is pretty ****ing cool. We walked around it before gametime, and it has much more a pro feel than college, which has its pluses and minuses. Overall though, it's really nice. Video board is really amazing for a G5 school, and the sound system is state of the art. (We need to get on that.)
Now, on to negatives. Their fans are still their fans. No one there at the beginning of the game, decent crowd for about a quarter and a half, empty after halftime. Students had no idea what was going on half the time, and more of them watched the big screen than the action on the field. Plus the student section is right behind the visitor's bench. That ought to last a season or two. Way too many bros more interested in trying to start fights with the other team's players than cheering on CSU. Oh, and did you know Boise's not a state? The students only chanted that incessantly the entire game.
The unis were a dud. From up close, they were cool, but on the field, they looked generic. Plus they had literally nothing to tie them to CSU. It could have been anybody on the field. Then you had the blue-out farce. I figured that Boise would at least wear orange or something, but nope - all blue, lol. Luckily, CSU being CSU, pretty much no one wore blue anyway.
As for the game itself, the only surprise to me was how awful Boise's defense was. Otherwise, CSU has a lot of offensive weapons but Nick Stevens is a choker, Bobo is an idot who can be counted on to do stupid **** every game, they have no defense, and they can't stop anyone when it counts. They suck, and that stadium is probably going to be a beautiful monument to mediocrity.
