Right , but there is something of a glass ceiling in front of CU right now . Assuming everyone in front of Colorado wins or loses narrowly in the case of tOSU and UM CCGs I don ' t see the teams in front of Colorado dropping behind them assuming CU also loses the CCG I think this is mostly going to be our top 10 just reshuffled and with a 3 loss team like USC sneaking in by the last ranking . So that means a win over Utah isn ' t likely to do much to their ranking , while USC still has room to move up a spot or two if we dominate ND and Oklahoma St drops down a number of spots after getting beat by OU , and then Louisville doesn ' t look good against a bad UK team . Theoretically we could be # 11 or # 10 behind Colorado heading into the CCG and it wouldn ' t take much movement after losing to UW for us to jump them after the postCCG reshuffling .
