BOULDER — After two straight weeks playing a team ranked eighth in the nation, the Colorado Buffaloes face No. 15 this week when they travel to Seattle for a 7 p.m. matchup Saturday against Washington.
But Colorado coach Mike Sanford said Tuesday these Huskies might just be the best team in the Pac-12 right now — at least if you use their last outing as a barometer.
Last weekend, Washington eliminated Oregon from playoff contention by marching into the Ducks' home stadium and taking a dramatic 37-34 victory. Kalen DeBoer's Huskies improved to 8-2 overall (5-2 in the Pac-12) while keeping alive their slim hopes for a berth in the Pac-12 championship game in the process.
