Colorado Opens 20Point Dog

Shhhh... Don't say that.... Let the hype build.
Of the few wins I had this weekend, Col St. was one of them. Line was way overblown.

Unfortunatley, people will start to realize COL is too much hype and that Oregon will blow them away. The lines going forward will come back to normal and the adv will be gone.

I think Deion is a good coach but you're right Colorado is overrated at this point. People drank the kool aid because of Deion but he doesn't have the players to be a national contender yet. Maybe in a couple of years but right now he's going to take a few L's probably starting this week with Oregon.

Was Oregon in the playoffs last yr?

Agreed... I see at least 5 losses the remainder of the season, maybe a 6th too.

@ #10 Oregon
#5 USC
@ #22 UCLA
@ #21 Wash St.
@ #11 Utah

Possibly lost at home to #14 Oregon St.

It seems PAC-12 is loaded this year.

I’ll say that I’m not sure Oregon is any good. So if they lose by like 14 not shocking

Agree with this. I’m seeing 21 points now. That line is overblown I think because of CSU game. I could see Colorado getting a back door cover or losing in the 14-17 point range

The Pac 12 is stacked this year for once so there will be no more cupcakes for Deion and his Buffs in conference play. We're going to find out just how good they really are because those teams you listed are all good football teams and they'll be fired up to play Colorado because of the hype that will surround the game.

PAC 12 is definitely overrated as it pretty much always is but yeah Colorado is like a 6-6/7-5 type team so don’t expect them to do well in this upcoming stretch

To me the most overrated Power 5 conference is believe it or not the SEC. I may be completely wrong but as an SEC guy who pays the most attention to the SEC I haven't been impressed so far with the SEC. The Pac 12 on the other hand has looked good so far in non conference play. Now things could drastically change but I disagree that the Pac 12 is overrated.

There is more depth in the Pac12 than usual, but we've done this dance before.

Lot of teams that look nice on paper there's no team there that has much of a shot to win the whole thing. Lot of above average teams, no really good ones

Washington is the team that looks like has some substance at least, but I wouldn't consider them a viable title contender yet. USC has a great QB but after that they're pretty meh.

Agree about SEC. Honestly it's been a little top-heavy for a couple years now and that had hid their depth issues

But top-heavy I guess is what reigns supreme in college football

Hence why it is an inferior sport (though the playoff expansion will fix some of this)

This is some pretty good insight on the SEC. I was thinking the same thing based on results so far but its still very early.

Wish I would have gotten at 16. Now at 21. Would have loved to get 21.5 as a great chance to middle
