In an identical position to Colorado, if Washington State wants to make the postseason, it has to start with a win over the Buffaloes in week 12.
They came up just short of an impressive comeback after going on a 15-0 run in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter. Last week, they suffered a tough road loss to California. They have gone winless in their last six games and are tied with Colorado for last place in the Pac-12. The Cougars were looking great after racing out to a 4-0 start and being ranked #13 in the country. Like their opponent, the Washington State Cougars had an unbelievable start to the season. Now, in must-win territory, the Buffaloes will try to get a road win over Washington State. Up seven points to begin the fourth quarter, Colorado was outscored 10-0 and went on to lose on a game-winning field goal after they had missed their potential 44-yard attempt with 4:57 to play. Their most recent loss was a heartbreaker at home to the #21 Arizona Wildcats. Now they are 1-6 in Pac-12 play and are on the brink of being eliminated from bowl contention. Several weeks ago, they were the #19 team in the nation. Once the epicenter of the college football world, the Colorado Buffaloes have cooled off in a significant way.
