Losing 4 of 7 means we end up at 8-4 on the year with a halfway decent bowl game and a decent shot at finishing the year ranked.2d most likely outcome according to S&P. Totally plausible.
I agree, but I think it'd be disingenuous to think that expectations don't change as the season goes on. If CU had lost to Nebraska and ASU, they'd be 3-2 and I think the 6-7 win expectation most people had would be about right. At 5-0, however, I think people would be pretty disappointed if CU ended the season with 6-7 wins, even though we'd be playing a bowl game. At this point, 8 wins would be pretty meh to me, honestly. At this point, 9 wins is my expectation, as that is a 4-3 record in these last 7 games, which shouldn't be viewed as improbable by any means.
No. **** that. We're going 14-0.This is the correct assessment. Individual probabilities will change with more info. FPI says 8-4. Everybody calm now?
Well, Wazzu just beat Utah, didn’t they? So I’ll go with Wazzu. But on a neutral site, I think I’d take Utah.who's better ? Wazzu or Utah ?
Went to the Utah game last year, I get it's a new team but still can't say I'm super confident we stop Moss.Well, Wazzu just beat Utah, didn’t they? So I’ll go with Wazzu. But on a neutral site, I think I’d take Utah.
I don’t think CU loses to either team, though. CU is more balanced across the board.
It should be a good game. I like our chances with a much improved DL and Nate ****ing Landman.Went to the Utah game last year, I get it's a new team but still can't say I'm super confident we stop Moss.
So we didnt make the playoffs despite being an undefeated p5 champ?No. **** that. We're going 14-0.
Armageddon happens after game 14.So we didnt make the playoffs despite being an undefeated p5 champ?
I expect they will come after 2 offensive & defensive drives if we aren’t up 14-0 tbhWe will have at least one of those predictions in the game thread before half.

Most of us here would have taken that in a heartbeat at the beginning of the year.
At the end of the year, how many ranked teams will CU have beaten? How many teams above 0.500? The are key metrics for the CFP.Not now. We're 5-0. I want more. Frankly, we all should. Enough talk about the Holiday, Redbox, and Sun Bowls for right now. Think bigger. We've got a great shot to play in the Rose Bowl, and I personally think we'll be a factor in the CFP conversation (there WILL be more chaos-who gets victimized remains to be seen) if we get out of these next two weeks with at least a split. I want that. Would another trip to San Antonio be a nice consolation prize? For sure-especially given we might get Texas or Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl this year. Be greedy people.
Nope. Key metrics are wins and losses. Tie breakers come down to all that stuff out of a team’s control.At the end of the year, how many ranked teams will CU have beaten? How many teams above 0.500? The are key metrics for the CFP.
While an undefeated P5 will never get left out, we would have beaten...At the end of the year, how many ranked teams will CU have beaten? How many teams above 0.500? The are key metrics for the CFP.
15-0 actually.No. **** that. We're going 14-0.
Not sure where you get your info, but these metrics are noted repeatedly by those that have gone through mocks. And are often cited by the chairman in his post-ranking comments.Nope. Key metrics are wins and losses. Tie breakers come down to all that stuff out of a team’s control.
Not sure. Depends on other conference champions and runners up. That’s wins against 7 (maybe) 0.500 teams and one (?) ranked team. Not sure that dog will hunt.While an undefeated P5 will never get left out, we would have beaten...
ASU
USC
UW twice
UA
WSU
Utah
Cal
Those could all be teams with winning records. More than enough to get in the top 4.
You were responding to a post about a 5-0 CU team continuing to win and become a factor in the CFP conversation. If CU wins out and is 13-0, they are in the CFP regardless of all your ancillary criteria. No sarcasm, that was my point. Wins > Everything else.Not sure where you get your info, but these metrics are noted repeatedly by those that have gone through mocks.

Maybe you response was sarcasm.

Won't even be a question.Not sure. Depends on other conference champions and runners up. That’s wins against 7 (maybe) 0.500 teams and one (?) ranked team. Not sure that dog will hunt.
CFP gets good data, indeed.Won't even be a question.
I'd be really disappointed if the committee looked at AP and Coaches poll rankings at time of game to decide the top 4.
There's real analytical ranking metrics that offer a much better profile of teams.
They still **** up though. See tOSU over TCU.CFP gets good data, indeed.

Maybe 1 miss out of 16. Maybe. Your example is very debatable.They still **** up though. See tOSU over TCU.
In the world of extreme hypotheticals that we’re living in during this discussion, an undefeated CU team getting in is assuming there are no more than two undefeated teams at the end, as evidenced by the fact that there never has been more than that. But yes, I can concede that in the event there are 5 total undefeateds and another 2-3 one loss teams, CU will probably not make it.13-0 Bama/UGA
12-1 UGA/Bama
13-0 Clemson
12-0 ND
13-0/12-1 tOSU
All those trump undefeated CU.
A 13-0 WVU likely does too. So does a 12-1 Wisconsin that wins conf championship.
Assuredly, there will be attrition. There always is. Undefeated CU is not a resume lock. Far from it as discussed today at length on Campus Conversation.
