Denver’s résumé is shaped by a couple of statement road wins and a string of damaging losses that make its position clear to a committee. Road victories at Colorado State and at Montana State show the team can win away from home against quality opposition and a home victory over Eastern Washington is a useful conference highlight. Those positives are offset by an embarrassing road drubbing at Arizona, a lopsided loss at Wyoming and surprising setbacks at home to UT San Antonio and to Cal State Fullerton, which raise questions about consistency and defense. Nonconference trips to Washington and Seattle beef up the strength of schedule but also exposed vulnerabilities on the road, and a remaining slate that includes games at Tulsa, North Dakota programs, Oral Roberts and a home date with Missouri Kansas City gives Denver tangible chances to improve its résumé or to further damage it depending on how it finishes.
