Seems about right. Hope the program is motivated to rise above this.

KSU at 2 is interesting. They lost a ton.
I'd put KU and AZ ahead of them. I'd put us last about where we are.

This years team motto should be "Fu** around and find out "

I like the coaches and transfers they have brought in. I was at Texas State when the 2021 team barely beat them because of their offense. Their head coach that year is now our OC. Also an improved offense will keep our defense off of the field longer and with CDA overseeing them they will be an improved unit. My prediction is 5th or 6th and I wouldn't be surprised to see them higher by the end of the year.

Unfortunately, it is about right. We were so spoiled under Briles and a couple times since then, we expect to be in the top 5-6 year after year. Obviously, that's unrealistic now.

Colorado rankings:

No. 16 in the nation in EA Sports College Football 25

No. 11 in the Big 12 in the preseason media poll

Is this a real post? 0 for kstate looks troll

Receiving corps definitely doesn't return everyone. Your two best playmakers are gone in Brooks and Sinnott. Your backup 600 yard back is also gone.
I'd have to confirm but I'm pretty sure you lost a lot on D. At least it seemed like it via the portal. Maybe they weren't impact players.

We can revisit this at the end of the season. Im surprised none of our DBs made it

There's really no need to visit after seasons end. After all these are loosely based off how said player performed last year. And Fafita was much much better. Sanders hype is purely name based.

The land of mediocrity arrived the day Aranda was hired. It's only really settling in now. He was never ready or qualified to be a P5 HC.

Rhoades and Aranda both must go if the Baylor program will have any chance to be relevant again.

Sorry, football truth hurts sometimes.

Sic'em

Still #1 to me.

But I agree, show it on the field. Nothing silences critics like winning.

We are going to shock a lot for people in this conference as well as our fanbase. I think they have been building while everyone on hear has been *****ing

Sure hope you are right. Hopefully, Patterson and Spav turn out to be great guardrails for Dave.

On paper, Baylor is better. Whether or not it will show in the standings, remains to be seen. The offense will move the ball. The defense is highly suspect until proven otherwise.

No Baylor playmaker. Aranda recruiting and player development at a low point.

We have the nicest coach, AD and Pres. #1 in B12

I appreciate you saying that.

correct on sinnott who will play a long time in the league after walking on at k-state. brooks was a solid possession receiver easily replaced.

the 600-yard back was replace by 4* cu transfer starter and kansan dylan edwards. d.j. giddons remains the starting running back.

k-state's defense will be the best since klieman came to manhattan. corners, safeties and linebackers return sans one who went on his mormon mission. starting line returns in tact.

as for baylor, the bears are an enigma for most of us. like every other team, quarterback is the key position and your toledo transfer is highly regarded nationally. i look for the bears to surprise that being the case.

Thank goodness there's more than twelve teams in the B12; otherwise, BU would be last. No preseason player selects, questionable OL. We. Pay. Players. Rah, rah!!! We gonna git'em!

I mean that's what we want right? We should have low expectations, we've been building for 2+years and we're starting back over again. If you've not been irked at the terrible product we've put on the field lately, I guess I don't know what to say.

The good news is we've seen a ton of change that looks positive both in coaching, strategy and players. So yes, I'm actually hopeful for this season and think they might surprise us as well. But with CDA in charge, it's just hard to be too hopeful. Looking forward and you being right.

Generally those changes take at least 3 years to
yield More than "internal improvements". That and Dave's never built anything successful that he created so here's hoping he can and they throw enough money at it for him to where he can
