Misery Index, Week 3 notebook: HS teams may play better than Colorado; Nick Rolovich embarrassing Washington State

Florida State leads this week's Misery Index after a 35-14 loss to Wake Forest. Here are the others that made the index, a weekly measurement of knee-jerk reactions based on what each fan base just watched.

Colorado: The Buffaloes have played eight quarters of football against FBS teams. They have scored a grand total of one touchdown. That was nearly enough last week to beat Texas A&M, which eventually scored with 2:41 left to snatch a 10-7 victory away from Colorado. But against Minnesota this week, Colorado set a bar for offensive futility that is probably out of reach for any team in the country the rest of this season.

Over the course of a 30-0 loss, Colorado’s offense had 11 possessions. Five of them resulted in three-and-outs, three more lasted five plays or fewer, and one ended on a first-play fumble. By the time it was over, Colorado netted 63 offensive yards, including a minus-19 tally on 21 rushing attempts. There might be high school teams in the state of Colorado that could have performed better than that. It would be difficult for anyone to do worse.
