CSU: Who had more impressive season-opening win?
Troy Renck and Sean Keeler debate which college football season opener was more impressive for Colorado State (CSU) versus Colorado (CU). Renck argues CU deserves the edge because the Buffs stopped a seven-game road losing streak with a 14-13 win over Georgia Tech in the Alamo Bowl’s context, and because they delivered on the road where Colorado was an underdog. He also frames CU’s potential impact on postseason qualification, suggesting the road win could matter. Keeler counters that CSU’s result felt better overall—winning at home and “shaming Wyoming” while hoisting a trophy—though he notes the CFP committee values the resume. They also cite Massey Ratings: CU jumped from No. 73 to No. 38 from Week 0 to Week 1, while CSU rose to No. 92 from No. 114.
