POLL OF THE DAY

College Football News: CU has the 6th-most difficult schedule in the Big 12th (44th nationally). Thoughts?

My first thought: CU really hurt its chances at success this season by being the only Power Four school with two non-conference road games against Power Four teams. Sigh.
Actually not as bad as thought. CU usually has one of the most difficult schedules in the country. Sad to see, though, that Texas Tech has such as easy schedule (128th nationally)
Not sure that this type of compilation means that much anymore. It's based upon last season's records, and every team has so much turnover each off-season that 2025 records aren't good predictors
