I ' m not sober enough to read this whole post . You win <| sep |> Sure , we have a couple bad losses , but USC has wins over Colorado and the team that hypothetically beats Colorado in the CCG , Washington . I would bet that makes the Rose Bowl committee ' s job harder when considering whether to take a 103 Colorado or a 93 USC when that USC team beat both the conference champs and conference runnerup . Plus one of our losses was to the undefeated # 1 team in the nation in the first game of the season with a QB who we later replaced for not being great . I think that a selection committee might be willing to just call it even between the two teams even though you ' d have one more win . Colorado really needs Wazzu to beat UW in the Apple Cup , or beat UW in the CCG , if they want to enure a lock on the Rose Bowl
