Do yo think we could still finish top ten if we beat CU and land in a decent bowl and beat a good P5 team?
I tend to think we’d still only be around 13 or 14. My real fear is that we’ll get stuck in the Veg again. I’ve heard that the PAC schools can’t go to the same bowl 3 years in a row. I’ve never heard of that rule anywhere else but Ute message boards though. Frankly I don’t think there really is such a rule.
To answer your implied question, I did a ton of research and found that there is no such rule. Hell, we could be selected to the same bowl game 10 or more times in a row if that’s how it works out.
I think the fan base will Mail it in just as the coaching staff and team did against Oregon. They will talk a good game and try to present a good front, but the sting of that loss to Oregon will NEVER go away. They will lose to CU and get placed in something like the New Mexico Bowl. Few will go to a bowl game like that as it serves as a painful reminder of what could have been. The will not want to be there, and the result will be another WTF loss to some hungry MWC team. Frankly, another matchup with TDS would be great. Then the team could
get motivated over another opportunity to beat the zoobs.
Ohio State lost to Penn. If we beat CU we should be in the top 10, however, I suspect we will finish number 12 if that happens. However, beating CU is a big if. Our D has to play much better in the secondary.
