Colorado was never really a rivalry of any kind (no trophy or named game with them), although we certainly had plenty of history with them.

Really? I have always considered Colorado to be a more meaningful rival to us than Iowa State, Illinois, or Oklahoma.

The Mizzou-Colorado football series is 41-31 all-time in our favor, much closer than Iowa State (we dominate them), Oklahoma (they dominate us), or Illinois (we dominate them). We've also only played Illinois about 25 times ever.

The Fifth Down game was against Colorado, that should have stopped them from winning a championship. We spoiled each other's seasons frequently for many years. Boulder was the best Big 12 road trip. The programs were frequently comparable (sleeping giants with lukewarm fanbases).

By comparison, I never cared much about Iowa State or OU, because those games were typically so lopsided one way or the other.
