Andy Katz picks the Buffs in an "upset"

[L Buff]

I'd hardly call it an upset ... since we beat them the first time.

Colorado over Arizona, Thursday: The Buffaloes haven't been the same team since losing the overtime game in Tucson last month. Their late win over Oregon earlier in the week would indicate a slight tick upward. Arizona is one of the best teams in the country, so don't read into this being a knock on the potential for the Wildcats to win the Pac-12. This is a classic example of a team that needs this win and will be playing with the home court behind it. Look for the CU guards to have one of their best games of the season, helping the Buffs avenge their loss in Tucson. If this can become a rivalry, then it's good for the league.

KenPom gives us a 47% chance to win the game.

Vegas will probably agree.

It will be an upset.

I remover jsigs kenpom prediction has us at 54% or something close to that

RealTimeRPI feeling the Buffs, gives CU a 58.6 % chance

FWIW, they had CU winning 69-68 last night.

I'm not sure what the second and third words in this statement are, but I just looked at our page, and we're listed as a 47% chance to win this game. He also has the following for the rest of the season:

* 78% against ASU
* 88% against Utah
* 35% at Stanford
* 47% at Cal
* 65% against Oregon
* 84% against Oregon State

Winning a home game is now an upset? We should win against Zona.

Sorry it was jgisland and KenPom but I find it extremely surprising that we are underdog(probability wise)s at home to Arizona. RealTimeRPI gives us a 54% and they claim they're model is the most accurate in the industry.

So awesome that this is how far we've come.

 

[jgisland]

Sagarin has this a under a point in Arizona's favor and sevenovertimes has it at CU -2 with CU winning 55% (score 68-66)

This will be interesting to see where vegas opens this given the last week and what happened in Tucson. I'm going to guess they take the easy way out and release this as a pickem.

Katz also said Arizona would be a seven year rebuild...
