Looks like Connelly has Nebraska beating Colorado. Got to be on the strength of Nebraska’s defense. He’s also got Louisiana ranked essentially the same as Colorado.

It factors in last year's team rankings for the first four weeks (I forget the exact amount) so it's weighing down Colorado more than it should for the time being.

Our first four weeks last year were pretty impressive. Might be overweighting the Gophers?

It's taking in to account last season for the first 4 weeks, not the first 4 weeks of last season
 


I would take Eastern Michigan -10 over northwestern
