The Colorado Buffaloes were one of the biggest surprises of college football last season when they finished 8-1 in the Pac-12 and 10-4 overall. They played well enough to win the Pac-12 South before losing to the Washington Huskies in the Pac-12 Conference Championship Game, 41-10. They also played in the Alamo Bowl where they lost to Oklahoma State.
The Buffs started off the season winning a neutral site game against Colorado State and two games at home before losing last week to Washington, 37-10. That’s almost identical to the final score from last year’s conference championship game.
