Colorado State has the longest football losing streak in the nation at 11 games.
The Rams are favored to win by 13 ½ points in their Mountain West Conference opener Saturday.
Must be a mistake, right?
Wrong.
Colorado State is hosting San Diego State, which also is opening its conference season.
With the Rams being on an 11-game losing streak and favored by so many points, it can only tell you one thing: The opposition must be horrible.
And it is.
Take away a win against Sacramento State of Division I-AA (or whatever the NCAA calls it these days), and the Aztecs would be winless this season.
Sure, two of their three losses were to teams currently in the Top 25 (Arizona State and Cincinnati.) The other was to Washington State of the Pac-10. All three games were blowouts.
At least Colorado State has been competitive against arguably a tougher schedule than SDSU has faced.
The Rams only lost by a field goal in overtime to Colorado, which beat then No. 3-ranked Oklahoma last weekend. They also came within six points of a California team now ranked third in the nation.
Any wonder why the Rams are favored so heavily?
At Coach Sonny Lubick’s weekly press conference, he was asked about his Colorado State team having an easier schedule ahead.
“You look to it as a real chance,” he said. “However, if we get foolish, and start thinking ahead too much, then you've got a major problem.”
With the nation’s longest losing streak, don’t expect the Rams to look ahead this week.
Prediction: Colorado State 27, SDSU 17

If San Diego State loses this week, it is pathetic. Colorado State sounds like it may be bad as the Aztecs. Lets see.
