Rank the CU opponents

Depends upon how I look at it. If I'm choosing based upon emotional value of the win or as a measure of improvement of CU's team. Emotional value, pretty close to Nik. As a measure I think:
1. ASU
2. CSU
3. STAN
4. NUB
5. WSU
6. UA
7. UCLA
8. OSU
9. TCU
10. USC
11. OU
12. UU
Maybe groups of four of relatively equal weight of can't lose to these, 50-50, paint and hang a brick

CSU was the toughest one for me for that reason, so I put them in the middle. Beating them means the least to me. Losing to them would be the 2nd worst potential loss.
there's a nuanced distinction between "win that means the most" and "loss that would hurt the most" that's not always easy to distinguish in making a ranking like this
1. Fuskers
LARGE GAP
2. USC
3. Oregon
4. Sheep
Gap
5. Utah
6. Arizona St
7. Arizona
8. UCLA
9. Stanford
10. Wazzu
11. Oregon St.
12. TCU
Don't get me wrong, beating TCU would be great, but I really don't care about TCU at this point. If we lose, it's expected. As Nik and Hokie said, the painfulness of a loss and excitement of a win is a very difficult thing to distinguish.

Fixed. There's a big gap between the first two and everyone else...

Our longest ever streak of beating NU is... 3, from 1956-1958. Would be nice to tie, then exceed that record.
In a normal year, totally agreed.
In this crazy ass transition year with 71 new players, if we find a way to win the first two, watch the **** out.
If we lose the first two, same, but in a different way.
I don’t know, in a normal year I would obviously say Nebraska, CSU, USC but I desperately want THIS team to come out and make a statement against TCU.
1a. TCU
1b. Nebraska
2. CSU (only because we have to beat them otherwise that really ****ing sucks)
3. USC
4. Oregon
5. Utah
Everyone else

#1 The next one.
EXACTLY what I was going to post. With the addition of UCLA at 4. I hate those ****ing ****ers.
TCU game was always going to be big after they made the title game last year & it being the 1st game of the Prime Era. But now with them being conference rivals starting next year, it feels like it matters more. Like it's the game that serves notice to the Big 12 that we are indeed comin'.
If you want to get fired up about the TCU game, read their ****ing comments about CU on their 247 board.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.

Oh yeah that was awful. They sure are a confident bunch and keeps them solidly in my 1a position
That's pretty much me but I'd move TCU into group 2.
I would move Oregon and Utah to the left (lower on the damaging loss scale), but nice visual.
The TCU game will be a statement game. If Colorado goes to Ft. Worth and shows out, a lot of the talking heads will begin to explode.
I personally would want a full blown apology video and admission of dumbassery from that Tom Luginbill douche
