I had Colorado as a bowl team but there’s no way I saw this coming, if Colorado can win out, they will be headed to the Rose Bowl. Even if they don’t reach the Pac-12 Title Game, this season has been a huge success, although the QB play hasn’t been great, Colorado has done just enough in each of their games this season. Colorado travels to Arizona this week in a game they should win as Arizona has struggled as of late. Then it gets tough, hosting Washington State and Utah to end the season. We know how good the Buffs have been up to this point, now they’ll need to raise it to another level.

What is the cure for a team who lost their first game of the season a week before? You play the Kansas Jayhawks, that’s what you do. Now that West Virginia is out of the playoff race, all that’s left for them is the Big 12 title. They still have Baylor and Oklahoma left on the schedule but with Baylor losing, the only viable threat for WVU is Oklahoma and that game could very well decide the Big 12 title. But first, there’s a trip to Texas in a game that’s more interesting but should result in a WVU victory.
