The schedules are full that far out because that is how it is has always been done, not for any other reason.

So far we have 5 bowl bids... NY6, Alamo, LA, Independence and Armed Forces. Not confident that the LA Bowl actually happens, so I would say a max of 4 slots for CU and there are really only 4 teams in the Pac 12 vying for a bowl game at this point anyway.
I hate their fans!
Have kid going there next year - would potentially create a family rift....
Talk about a mind **** for me. Buffs are my #1 but it would be tough not to also cheer for Auburn also.

I'll take that over the Indy bowl or the LA Bowl against the MWC champ (assuming it happens). Prime recruiting spot and a solid opponent.
A lot of that scheduling is done with the idea of "locking up" opponents and a schedule for the future.
It is also amazing how much of it is done based on a combination of politics and ADs or Head Coaches returning favors to each other. CSU ended up with games against Alabama and Arkansas specifically because of those AD favors.
None of which is actually a valid reason when you are looking at a multi-billion dollar industry like college football.
SEC Announces Football Schedule for December 12 and 19
The Southeastern Conference has announced a schedule for football games to be played on December 12 and December 19.

they know what they are doing
Postponed. I need Vandy to play on 12/12 and 12/19. Bet them under 0.5 season wins.
Is Mac Jones even the second best offensive player? Third best?
Most of the time, it's a QB award unless a back or some other position has an off the charts year like Rashaan did.
Probably tied for third.
Yeah. If Waddle is still out there, I think Mac is easily fourth. Tied for third even with Waddle OFS.
He is still playing very well, just sucks the award is basically only a QB award now.
For sure. DeVonta Smith is basically unguardable even against future pros and isn’t getting proper kudos. Wild how good they are on O.
749 yards and 11 TDs in the last four games.
I know our offense is different but he has 500 more yards than our leading receiver (his last four games to four games). Holy smokes.
That's more yards than Broussard has rushing on the tear he is on. Insane.
So Pac 12 down to NY6, Alamo, Independence and Armed Forces Bowl, which is obviously just enough for CU, USC, Oregon and UW.

Don't Drink the Kool-Aid
I saw something weird in today's paper... If Wash St. wins out and Wash loses, then Wash St. plays in PAC-12 CG?? CU will go ahead anyways...
Alamo is looking pretty likely at the moment.

They play Tennessee this weekend..........that's gonna be one hell of a pillow fight.
I've thought about this the last couple years and I think that they should make a big deal out of the ceremony for the Davey O'Brien award and then get the Heisman back to the best player award as it should be. The issue is that the voters are now conditioned to lean towards QB's. Not sure how to fix that but it would be nice for the Heisman to be truly representative of the best players in CFB.
Is this the picking order, TS?
Now that they lost to USC, they are 1-2 and aren't in play for anything anymore. Stanford, OSU and UCLA are the only teams left that are/could be bowl eligible after this week, but assuredly won't get in due to only 4 bowl tie-ins now. CU, USC, UW and Oregon are the four that will get in unless they cancel more.
I'm predicting CU in the Armed Forces bowl vs SEC
