ESPN recently set out to rank the nonconference schedules of every team in a Power 5 conference over the next five years. Colorado, with upcoming games against Nebraska and Minnesota (and Texas A&M and TCU coming after the 5 years reviewed), comes in at 35th, seventh in the Pac-12. Weak scheduling may have kept Baylor out of the playoff last year (and that loss to West Virginia) and they haven't done much to try and fix it, coming in dead last of all of the team reviewed.
