Happy Rivalry Week. Who’s ready to shock the stinking world?
The best two college football teams west of Nebraska — and the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the Denver Post Best of the West top 25 poll released this morning — will spend Thanksgiving weekend directly in the Front Range’s orbit.
Utah (10-1, 7-1 conference), the Pac-12’s sole remaining hope for a berth in the College Football Playoff and the new top team in the Best of the West poll, hosts surging CU (5-6, 3-5) late Saturday afternoon. On Black Friday, the Post’s new No. 2 squad, Boise State (10-1, 7-0 Mountain West), visits Colorado State (4-7, 3-4) in the season finale for the Rams.
