BOULDER — Colorado's final game of the season is not a bowl game — but if the Buffaloes want to make a postseason-worthy splash, they have the opportunity Friday when they play at Utah (2 p.m., Fox).
Utah (8-3 overall, 7-1 Pac-12) has already clinched a Pac-12 South title, is 19th in the latest College Football Playoff rankings and is playing its best ball of the season. Not only have the Utes won four games in a row, they are coming off a 38-7 beatdown of Oregon last week, a game Utah dominated in nearly every fashion.
