Colorado non-conf scheduling

Analysis: The Buffs non-conf schedule is usually made up of rival Colorado State, a Pac 10 team, another quality BCS or non-BCS team, and maybe a below average cupcake if it's a four team year. They don't mind a challenge at all, being only 1 of 4 teams who's opponents averaged over 7 wins per season. Top-notch tough scheduling.

Fact: Having Colorado State as a rival has helped Colorado’s numbers and rankings tremendously – the Rams averaged over 8 wins a season for the first 7 years of the BCS and accounted for 10 (more than half) of Colorado’s 10+ win teams.

Fact: None of Colorado’s BCS opponents has averaged below 6 wins per season.

2008 Outlook: More of the same – tough games against West Virginia, Florida State, and probably Colorado State, one of those at a neutral site. I-AA Eastern Washington should be easy. On the tough end of 2008.
