Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3329312, member: 9636"] Part of the reason why I compared the bottom teams of both conferences is to show strength of schedule. It is really difficult to go undefeated in conference play in Pac-12. Last year, even with their best player in a decade out with an injury, Colorado led Stanford for most of the game. The CU team beat ranked teams and nearly beat Miami and was nationally ranked until entering conference play and before injuries led to a lengthy losing streak. And, yes, Wisconsin has long been a doormat but they showed a we won’t give up grit even as they fell behind by 26 and spent most of the game down 20 or more. True, Colorado was in foul trouble in 4th quarter when Wisconsin narrowed the score. And, true, preseason predictions aren’t always reliable. Colorado played with a couple of first year players who turned out to be nothing short of sensational. [/QUOTE]
