No. 23 Colorado State
Location: Fort Collins, Colo.
Nickname: Rams.
Conference: Mountain West.
Coach: Steve Fairchild, first season.
Division I-A history: 464-504-33 in 109 seasons, .480 winning percentage.
Last bowl season: 2003.
Best record last five years: 7-6 in 2003.

Negative number: 0. That's the number of first-team Mountain West all-conference selections for the Rams over the last two seasons.
Possible victory: Sacramento State, Sept. 6. Of the four nonconference games, this Division I-AA foe is probably the only team the Rams can safely assume they can beat. In the MWC, the opener at home against UNLV might be Colorado State's best hope.
Biggest blowout: At California, Sept. 27. Other than facing rival Colorado in Denver, the Rams' toughest test will be against the Bears in Berkeley.
Is there hope?: Fairchild is Lubick's hand-picked successor and is a former Colorado State quarterback who served on Lubick's staff for seven years. After seven seasons in the NFL as an offensive coordinator, he has plans of using a power running game balanced with a daring passing attack.
