Just how much are views of Colorado changing?

Are #Pac12 experts significantly rethinking their views of Colorado, or are they in ‘wait-and-see’ mode?

Few teams in the nation are being discussed more than Colorado. Deion Sanders has the Buffs at 2-0. How much are people rethinking their outlook for this team? We asked our Pac-12 panel, “Did your view of Colorado change this week?”

Don Smalley, Ducks Wire: Not really. Nebraska is a complete dumpster fire. Colorado should have won that game by even more.

Matt Zemek, Trojans Wire: Nebraska has a truly terrible offense. It’s hard to say too much about Colorado until it faces an elite quarterback. Bo Nix and Caleb Williams are coming, so we’ll get more information on this team before September ends.

Zachary Neel, Ducks Wire: I wouldn’t say that I was blown away by Colorado this week, but I was impressed by how they could win in a different way vs. Nebraska. I still need to see the Buffs against a good team before I make any bold proclamations, though.

Matt Wadleigh, Trojans and Buffaloes Wire: Colorado did what it was supposed to do, although it took a little longer than it did in Week 1. The real tests are coming against Oregon and USC, but the Buffs are a terrific team.
