Updated 11/17:

North Dakota State (FCS) 10-1
Nebraska (L) 5-5
Colorado State 7-3
Baylor 6-4
UCF 4-6
K-State (L) 7-3
Arizona 4-6
Cincinnati 5-5
Texas Tech 6-4
Utah 4-6
remaining:
Kansas 4-6
OKST 3-7

NOTES:
  • FBS teams Colorado has beaten have a combined record of 36-34.
  • Their two losses are from teams that are combined 12-8. The Nebraska loss was not good.
  • Big-12 competition to date is a combined 29-31.
  • Regular season games remaining have a combined 7-13 record.
  • From a win/loss perspective, Colorado's best wins this year are against a Mountain West team and an FCS team.
  • According to College Football Network, Colorado's updated strength of schedule ranks as 68th toughest in the country.
  • Colorado has the inside track to the BIG12 championship vs either Iowa State, BYU, or Arizona State.
  • If Colorado wins out including the BIG12 championship, they are in the CFP.


For comparison here is Georgia Tech

Florida St 1-9
Georgia St 2-8
Syracuse (L) 7-3
VMI (FCS) 1-10
Louisville (L) 6-4
Duke 7-3
North Carolina 6-4
Notre Dame (L) 9-1
Virginia Tech (L) 5-5
Miami 9-1
remaining:
NC State 5-5
Georgia 8-2

NOTES:
  • FBS teams GT has beaten have a combined record of 25-25. FSU and Georgia State skew this.
  • GT's 4 losses are from teams with a combined 27-13. The VT loss without King was a bad loss.
  • ACC competition to date is a combined 41-29. Including ND it would be 50-30.
  • Regular season games remaining have a combined 13-7 record.
  • Tech's best win is against 9-1 Miami.
  • According to College Football Network, Georgia Tech's updated strength of schedule ranks as 11th toughest in the country.

I think those SOS metrics are for remaining schedule, not overall

I'm surprised how well this year had gone. We'll see how next year goes with the exodus of NFL talent.

There could very easily be an exodus of coaching talent at this point too. If Deion has any designs on coaching at a higher level program there won't be any better time to go for it than after this season.

Colorado has been flipping commits lately. And looks to be landing the next QB. USC more or less did a 5* QB swap today with Lewis (who had been committed to USC since August 2023) trending to Colorado, USC flipped 5* TAMU QB Longstreet. This sets the stage for Lewis to pick Colorado over uga (who is reportedly throwing a very large NIL package at him).

Colorado has also flipped 3 4*’s in addition to the pending 5* commit of Lewis. They are trending for 5 other players. For as much as I thought Deion was leaving with his sons and Hunter, Colorado is trending to land an 18 signee early H.S. class in December. I’m sure they will be very active in the December Portal. All indicators point towards Deion being at Colorado in 2025.

With the transfer portal, does the recruiting situation matter all that much?

Let's say FSU cobbled together the money somehow to poach Deion -- couldn't he take all of those commits with him and they could play immediately?

Of course. Players could leave Colorado and or sign with FSU via the Portal. Happened at Alabama when Saban retired.

But FSU doesn’t have $64+ million to say goodbye to Norvell and the pay for Deion’s buyout + coaching staff. Norvell isn’t going to be let go for what is obviously an awful 2-10 year. He’ll get at least 1 year to try and turn it around. This would drop the buyout to roughly $55 million after the 2025 season. Not sure if FSU can even afford that buyout. Reality is, he’s probably at FSU until at least 2027.

Colorado should easily win their next 2 games. I could see them in the playoffs, not because they are one of the 12 best teams; but because it would turn on TV's. If they end up in the playoffs, my guess is they would play an SEC team.

This is all the playoffs ever have been...

Sounds like someone has changed their tune congratulations

Good thing you didn't make a piss bet
 
Just landed Julian Juju Johnson from Carrollton as his next QB. Sounds like he isn't planning to go anywhere. Certainly some story lines for the opening game next year.

Next year, Deion will be at FSU and Colorado can once again just go öööö itself. He will take his best players with him. His baggage is Louis
