Because Colorado has played four non-conference games, and against remarkably weak teams, I’m comparing their statistics with Stanford’s for the two team’s conference statistics only. Even in that scheduling, however, Colorado has been fortunate; they’ve played only one of the six Pac-12 teams, UCLA, ranked in Sagarin’s top 30, while Stanford has played three: #7 USC, #22 Washington, and UCLA.
