ESPN Looks Back on the BCS Era?

This is definitely another one of those "were stuck in May and can't wait for football season" articles. I am not complaining, we do it here on the Report all the time. Although CU doesn't get a lot of play because for most of the BCS era we were under the Barnett regime and a lingering blowout Fiesta Bowl loss to the Joey Harrington-led Oregon Ducks continues to be a BCS memory. In this article by ESPN, it highlights how the Big 12 has been very successful in the current BCS system. They put together the best of list and the Buffs have two of the top 10 games in Big 12 BCS history. All I have to say is the Nebraska game was one of the best ass kickings I have ever witnessed.

5. Colorado 39, Texas 37, 2001 Big 12 championship game -- Dec. 1, 2001: Colorado took advantage of three interceptions and a fumble by Texas QB Chris Simms to jump to a 19-point lead in the first half. The Buffaloes then held on despite a furious comeback led by backup QB Major Applewhite.

6. Colorado 62, Nebraska 36 -- Nov. 23, 2001: Chris Brown rushed for 198 yards and six touchdowns to lead a Buffalo stampede over the No. 2 Cornhuskers, clinching the Buffaloes' first Big 12 North title.
