Pac-12 is a down conference, though. Any playoff teams? There are holes on every roster that CU faces.

It is still relative. Several teams have more talent and fewer holes.

Now we await the post-spring departures. I have my ideas.

Some marque names will be missing from our opponents rosters like, Miles Gaskin, Jake Browning, N’Keal Harry, Manny Wilkins, Gardner Minshew, Arciega- Whiteside.
If you want to be perfectly pessimistic, only 2 rosters are definitely less talented and less deep than CU. So go ahead and make a case for 2-10 if you want to make the wet blanket case.
If I recall, you were thinking 5-7. Has that changed yet?

Reasons for optimism? Mangham, Arias, healthy Shenault, seems some in the defensive backfield are stepping up, reinforcements coming
Reasons for concern? Scary depth everywhere except WR, new schemes to learn
This team will have to fight mightily to get six wins. Just my belief.

I think the floor is 4-8 and ceiling is 7-5. If that means wet blanket, oh well.
We have some bad depth issues that cannot be wished away if/when injuries hit. Hopefully we can withstand some of the really bad/poor/dumb recruiting by MM over the next couple seasons.
I didnt see anything posted in here, But I Asked Mustafa Johnson on the field after the game about the boot... He said he fractured his fibula last week and should be full go by July.

Sucks. Anyway you slice it, it’s a setback.
At least he’ll get upper-body lifting throughout.
We need to make a damn bowl, get some momentum going. If that's 6-6, 7-5, so be it.
Then sell it to Ruckus. He seems pretty interested and will pay top dollar.

Never haha. I was excited to get their autographs for myself, I don’t take photos with them.

beware the habu
I gotta go with the under until I see the scheme, buy in, and intensity. Hope I'm wrong, tho.
Probably looking into nephew rental options.
I can't read a single signature on that thing. You could have gotten it signed by a bunch of doctors for all we know.

What your forecast tells me is that between 4 and 7 teams on CU’s schedule have depth and talent issues equal to or larger than that of CU.

Maybe. That is before home/road splits and matchups with individual teams (Utah may not have an overwhelming talent advantage, but it is a bad matchup for CU until proven otherwise).

Those 4-7 wins have to come against somebody.
High probability: CSU & AFA
Battles: NU, AZ, ASU
Underdog w/ a chance: Wazzou, StanFord
Monkeys on the back: UCLA, USC
Don’t hold breath: Oregon, Washington, Utah
High probability: AFA, CSU
Battles: AZ, NU, UCLA, USC, Wazzu

I think we should be able to battle with ASU, although it’s going to be hot.
I don’t see why ASU is considered an underdog rather than a battle. As far as I’m concerned, USC is more of a long shot than ASU, until this team proves it can beat them.
News page said the attendance was over 7,000. For those there, that seem about right?
Its possible.
