BOULDER — In a season in which the Colorado Buffaloes have already played two teams currently ranked in the nation's top 10 — No. 7 TCU and No. 10 UCLA — the road only gets tougher over the next two weeks.
Saturday, the Buffs play host to No. 8 Oregon in a 1:30 p.m. game at Folsom Field (ESPN). Six days later, they head to the West Coast for a Friday night game against No. 9 USC at the Coliseum (7:30 p.m., FS1). Throw in a Nov. 26 season finale against No. 12 Utah, and it's a difficult lineup for anyone — never mind a Buffs team that is still trying to find its way in a 1-7 season.
