Uh, what?

Colorado and BYU are playing each other in a bowl game?

Since when do bowls have teams from the same conference play each other???? (not counting playoffs of course)

I had to look this one up. For 2024 and 25 this bowl is using the old conferences for their tie in’s. So technically BYU is Big 12 and Colorado is PAC 12. It’s weird.

That is really weird, makes no sense

I do think it's pretty cool though that for the 2nd round the Rose Bowl is getting Oregon/OSU though

Think they had an opportunity to have Colorado actually play a variant of a BIG12 title game and took it.  They never played anyone at the top of that conference this year so it was sort of weird.   You never got a real look at how they even stacked up in conference.

as things continue to evolve in college football..…I think you will see schools that pay big money through the collective start ensuring the deals include playing out full seasons/postseason play.   

it’s pay to play.  It’s basically pro ball at the big schools.  No way they let kids cash big checks and then let them sit going forward without penalty.  You can’t do that in pay sports.  Think college football is far from done fixing this monster they created.

I doubt it. Someone will always break rank and offer elite prospects a deal without that stipulation to gain a recruiting advantage.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
