What goes up, must come down.
The Colorado Buffs extraordinary 2016 season is something that every Colorado fan will remember. Had you told somebody last August that the Buffaloes would achieve 10 wins, a Pac-12 South Division title and an Alamo Bowl appearance, you’d sound like a lunatic.
But right now, what doesn’t sound crazy is the Buffaloes not making a Bowl game at all.
Colorado survived a close shave against the Oregon State Beavers this past Saturday. It was their first Pac-12 victory of the season, and it put them at a 4-3 overall. After dropping their first three conference games, the win is a very small comfort — especially considering how perilous the upcoming schedule is.
