Things really could not have gone better for University of Colorado football in its first two weeks. By trouncing CSU and Idaho State, the Buffs made a statement, and not just about who the better team was — a statement that this CU team is no longer a weakling in the college football world. Colorado is saying that it’s ready to finally succeed in the Pac-12 Conference.

But will they really?

Sure, the Rocky Mountain Showdown and the home opener gave us all a few convincing reasons to believe in this team, but history and other factors make it easy to cast doubt.
