Although the Colorado Buffaloes Volleyball team has a strong 12-5 record on the season, Pac-12 play has proven to be a issue. All five losses this year have come in conference play, and four of them were outside of Boulder, which knocked them out of the national rankings.
Last year, the Buffs struggled on the road. Although the season only consisted of 20 in-conference games, their 8-12 season included a winless road record. Colorado is involved in arguably the strongest volleyball conference in the nation and are competing at a higher level, but they need to get over the conference hump.
