    Napier has nothing to do witg colorado. Its simply tgat their schedule is weak and tgey have lost multiple games to not so good teams. Its just not all tgat impressive in a weak league. Now if he wins tge conference and then a playoff game, you damn sure have to take your hat off to him.

    Tge two things arent even relatable. Napier is losing in the best conference and doon is somewhat winning is the weakest power 4 ,conference which is a joke as tgere are only power conferences now. Big 12 should really be a lower division.

    What is the obsession with comparing every schedule to UF? The turnaround of Colorado is compared to the previous season at Colorado, not UF. It's the same thing for Cignetti. Then I get all the trope apples to oranges replies when I'm not doing that, YOU are.

    1-11
    4-8 year 1
    7-2 year 2

    My hat is already off, that is impressive.

    I said, what does napier and florida even have to do with it. Its a weak league and a weak schedule and he has two losses. Tgats all., not bad for where hes at.

    Got it, UF the SEC team shouldn't be expected to beat SEC teams, but CU, a BIG 12 team, still sucks because they beat BIG 12 teams. Again, tearing others down to feel better about how crap UF has been.

    You seem to think of yourself as pretty smart. Where in my post did I mention anything about CBN. I was making a basic point thatvatvleast we haven't lost to unranked teams. We couldnt say that last year. In my other post in this thread that actually mentions Colorado, I was talking about comparing Colorado to the other potential CFP teams of which I said they haven't played any good teams and lost to the only ranked team that is in the top five of their conference. What is your favorite saying... oh yeah "show me some data that proves that otherwise"

    Stop trying to act like every comment is in defense of CBN. I was just making a couple accurate observations that we have not lost to unranked teams this year and Colorado has not played and or beat anyone that was remotely ranked.

    You are correct, I should not have replied to you, should have replied in general. My mistake.

    They haven't beaten the top 5 of the conference yet we are talking about them being the best in the conference. That is a very valid point when determining the best teams in the conference is it not?

    Thats incoherent crap. Tge goal is to win national championships . We suck and they arent much closer. Get DJ and the rest of our team healthy and we are probably the favorite to beat them but who cares about beating second rate teams or dion. We have to beat tge best teams in the country to be considered successful here. Napier has so far failed to do so and it may not get much better and it could easily get worse. If we had a president, he eould probaly get his papers. Theres just no relevance to compare the two situations.

    In the past it would have been much clearer, but now with so many teams in conferences it is very muddy. Texas has faced 1 team currently ranked and lost. It's opinion based, but I would still consider them a good if not very good SEC team.

    K-State is ranked. Nebraska isn't doing stellar, but they have a pretty good defense and that game was played @Nebraska. I'm not convinced Napier could take our team to Lincoln and win. That said, it doesn't matter. Napier didn't start with the dearth of talent like Deion did. That he has only lost one game to an unranked opponent this year is a minor miracle.

    Incoherent crap is assuming Napier would beat a team like Colorado, when he's 0-5 against ranked opponents this season, with or without Lagway. And I like how you said "get everybody healthy" as if teams typically don't have injuries. Only Florida has injuries, lol.

    Yes i pointed out that Colorado has lost to the ONLY team in the top 5 of the conference. Thank you for reiterating my point. So in my opinion when a team loses to the only good team in the big12 and have only played the bottom of the conference why would anyone be talking about them being on of the best in the BIG12?

    UF's goal is to win NC, CU's goal is to make a damn bowl game.

    You are right we wouldn't really care about beating CU other than to stick it to Deion, which to be fair would be nice.

    The rest is the point I was originally making, the situations are not comparable because the 2 schools are in such different tiers of leagues and expectations.

    Yesterday we were missing our top 2 QB's, top 2 WRs, top 2 RB's, and top 2 DB'S. I mean show me another team that has lost that and is still just humming along. It's early and I got time I'll wait.

    Wow. I am surprised because I did not think most board readers would be as accepting of Prime. But I would take him yesterday as head coach.

    No one should have expected us to win or hum along. We certainly can expect to not be down 42-0 in the 3rd quarter and the other team takes their foot off the gas like they are playing an FCS school.

    Colorado won a national championship when I was a teenager? They just suck right now just like us.

    And it is hard to say just how good we are (when we aren't on our 3rd string at major positions) nowhere near elite ,we haven't beaten the ranked teams we've played but they are all like top 15, which we know we are not, but how much away from top 25 is uncertain but we've beaten the teams we were supposed to and some of those have even beaten good teams like UK beating olemiss. Eitherway, we at least have tested ourselves vs the best in the conference and know where we are not at least. Can't say that about a over inflates Colorado team.
