The Bottom Line
The No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes find themselves in a position that has been unfamiliar to the team since the fall of 2016: contending to represent the Pac-12 South in the conference’s championship game. CU will have one last opportunity to prove its worth in Saturday’s matchup against Pac-12 South rival Utah. With a 4-0 record in the midst of COVID-19, the Buffaloes have seen extraordinary success under even more extraordinary circumstances.
Undefeated through four games under the leadership of a first-year head coach, a first-year quarterback and the third-longest odds to win the Pac-12 title, CU is ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time in two years.
