• How long has it been since CU was listed as a projected bowl team? The 2016 and 2020 seasons were not anticipated, and were (correctly, as it turned out) considered as aberrations. So ... 2008? (51%, 68 Votes)
• Whatever. 247 Sports is projecting that Utah will make the playoffs, and USC will make the Rose Bowl? Two Pac-12 teams in New Year's Six bowls?? Not happening ... so we can disregard the projections (26%, 35 Votes)
• Ten of CU's opponents are going bowling? Even if CU beats the other two (Cal and Arizona), CU is projected to go 2-10 ... sounds about right (23%, 30 Votes)

• I'm just glad that two of the names on the list - Butch Jones at Tennessee and Les Miles at Kansas - were potential bullets CU may have dodged (62%, 111 Votes)
• Jimmy Lake at Washington ... The hand-picked successor to Chris Petersen, Lake opened last season by losing to Montana ... and it went down from there. Washington still has work to do to recover (19%, 35 Votes)
• Kevin Sumlin at Arizona ... Sumlin had a decent record at Texas A&M, but went completely south in the desert. Arizona went from decent to dismal under Sumlin (14%, 26 Votes)
• Clay Helton at USC ... Helton won a Pac-12 championship and won a Rose Bowl, but never lived up to the expectations of the USC fan base (too bad he didn't have NIL to buy a team like Lincoln Riley) (5%, 8 Votes)
