With a big opportunity still well within reach, Colorado football Mike MacIntyre is doing his best to alter the calendar.
It might still be October when the Buffaloes host their annual homecoming date Saturday afternoon against Oregon State, yet as far as MacIntyre and the Buffs are concerned, it's already November.
"The 'gold' games happen in November, but we put this as a 'gold' game," MacIntyre said earlier this week. "We moved November up a week, because we basically have to run the table."
On this count, MacIntyre is on the money. While the Buffs would need just a little bit of help along the way, running the table over the final five games will more than likely bring a second Pac-12 Conference South Division crown to Boulder in three years.
