Pro Football Focus released its ranking of the 130 FBS college football offensive line units on Monday and Colorados teams read like Goldilocks porridge samples one was hot, one was cold and one was, well, average.

Heres how they performed:

Colorado State Rams | Rank: 93

Pro Football Focus Cam Mellor writes: If it werent for their prowess in pass protection most notably from their tackles, who ranked 33rd in pass-blocking grade youd be hard-pressed to see the Rams cracking the top 100 here. Each position group outside of their tackles fell outside the top 100 in overall grade, and they even had the third-lowest run-blocking grade among center groups in the country.

Colorado Buffaloes | Rank: 54

Mellor writes: By all definitions, Colorados offensive line was very middle-of-the-pack as a unit. They finished the season ranked 47th in pass-blocking grade and 52nd in run-blocking grade but were certainly strongest on the outside at the tackle position. Hambright led them all in grade, finishing with top-third grades in the pass and run game.

Air Force Falcons | Rank: 19

Air Forces dominant rushing attack was thanks in large part to their offensive line, which ranked first overall in run-blocking grade as a unit. (Scott) Hattok led the way at tackle but Parker Ferguson and Nolan Laufenberg each had their own dominant success in the run game, Mellor writes.

An additional note: The 6-foot-5, 295-pound Hattok received a rating of 90.5 by PFF, the fifth best among all offensive linemen.

The Oregon Ducks were the highest-rated team, followed by the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide. Bringing up the rear at No. 130 were the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
