Colorado State and Colorado have deep rivalry roots - the games are always hard fought regardless, Nebraska was beaten handily. Also keep in mind their best offense weapon and defensive player didn’t play this game. Not saying it would have changed the outcome but it definitely could have changed the lopsided nature of the score.

Mizzou beat a 15th ranked k-state team and didn't end up in the rankings for it.

No, Colorado didn't deserve their ranking and that's EXACTY why people are/were rooting against them.

I love Sanders and his approach. I don't think he's even that shameless self-promoter (many do it for him). But the sports media was in a rush to skip 2/3 of the 'hero's journey' and run straight to him slaying dragons.
