Creighton sucks

#1 Midwestern University in the country. They will be undefeated again in College Football ...

Though the Johnny Knolla era is long dead.

Colorado graduated a lot of talent on defense and lost defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt to Oregon. They have a pretty easy schedule but I don't see them being a top 30 team. CU won't go back to being horrible, but I don't think they match last year's performance.

#1 team in the midwest......they don't have a board for all their fans..?

#1 University for academics. Football isn't Life. I enjoy College Football, but it is just a game.

You are right @schuele that they have to replace players and coaches, including DC who moved to Oregon, from a 10-4 team.

They #17 in one poll, #15 in coaches, so #30 isn't out, but others need to earn their stripes.

Colorado will open season with Colorado State in Denver, holding two game streak, then in Week 4 open Pac 12 play with a rematch of Pac 12 title game at home in Boulder.

Nine starters are back on offense. Phil Steele calls coach Mike MacIntyle one of the best in country.

We shall see. Odds are as much with your conclusion, but based on 2016, I will give them a Week 1 game to show something.

They don't play Stanford and could open 5-1, though road trip to UCLA is only road game in first 6.

Next 3 of 4 are on road, yikes.

Creighton sucks

Yeah but Creighton fans or fans that went to Creighton for an education can still love Nebraska football. Creighton = hometown fan, Nebraska = representation of the state and its people
