As far as Colorado I initially picked UTEP in my CNNSI pick 'em but changed it because on second thought I considered where UTEP plays and where CU plays.

What do you mean? UTEP was playing in a fairly similar location to where they usually play. CU had to come down to sea level from ofer a mile high to play this game. I was a little worried they might not be able to adjust because they've had issues at sealevel before.

Plus I think Barnett is a hell of a coach and the game was for CU, like OSU, a statement game after a season of controversy.
|
I agree with you on this one. This was a game that Barnett was saying would be the first game of 2005, and it was therefore very important for the Buffaloes to play well and finish the season strong. They didn't start the game too hot, but they finished it up pretty damned well.

Plus you have that badass kicker. That kid is awesome. End of story.

You got that right! Mason Crosby is going to be the best kicker in the country in the next couple years. Unfortunately, he'll lose some credit from the national media because he kicks at altitude. That's just an idiotic excuse. Crosby nailed that 54-yarder today. i believe it was his sixth of the season from 50+ yards.
I was at the game against Iowa State when he kicked that 60-yarder and it was a thing of beauty. It doinked off the upright and through, but if it had been straighter, it would have been good from at least 70. John Thorp, our punter, had a fantastic season too. CU lead the nation in net punting this year.
