in the conference (current top 7).

Stolen from Reddit: "With the obvious that they can't play themselves at #2 in conference, Colorado this year doesn't play BYU (#1), itself (obv), Iowa St (#3), Arizona St (#5), West VA (#6), TCU (#7), and lost to Kansas St (#4).

Their wins are against Texas Tech (#8), Cinci (#9), Baylor (#10), UCF (#13), and Arizona (#14). Games remaining are against Kansas (#12), Utah (#15), and OK State (#16)."

so there is something there. The problem like you said is Deion brings the eyeballs.

K-state on the other hand played #1, #2, #3, and #6 on the road (Can't be losing to Houston tho)
