I know I am revisiting a subject that has been covered but when you find someone who actually does some investigating like we do before calling CU out for removing LSU from the schedule, you have to bring it up.
The Bleacher Report, a blog that has been writing a lot about the Buffs lately with a very unbiased approach to every single post (if you don't believe me, read this one), has brought up some amazing points about the Buffs past and future scheduling and how nobody in the Big 12 even comes close to playing top non conference teams like the Buffs do.
Here is an excerpt from The Bleacher Report:
Finally, if you have any friends who still give you grief about the Buffs ducking the Tigers in order to get out of a tough series, don’t back down. Colorado has to apologize to no one when it comes to non-conference scheduling. Try this stat on any CU detractors you encounter: Colorado has played 27 games against ranked non-conference opponents (not counting bowls) since 1990, the most in the Big 12. The other five teams in the Big 12 North, over that same period of time? 42 games - combined! Nebraska is a distant second to the Buffs, with 14 such contests, and no other team in the Big 12 North has hit double digits.
