Colorado's defense allowed 34.8 points per game last season, ranking 119th nationally. That's not a playoff unit. Their offensive line gave up 56 sacks, worst in the Power Five. Meanwhile, NC State couldn't even win the ACC with a veteran roster. The Wolfpack's 9-4 record last year was built on a soft schedule. You're projecting playoff dreams for a team that went 4-8, while your own program consistently underachieves. Focus on winning your division first.
