Colorado football players aren't giving up hope just yet.

Down to the final couple of weeks of the college football season, desperation is setting in for a few teams.

A whopping 80 bowl game spots are available this year. Of the 128 teams in FBS, 62 teams have already earned bowl eligibility, while 34 have no chance of getting to the magic number of six wins.

Among the other 32 teams, 18 are just a win away from the six-win mark.

That leaves 14 other long shots that haven't had good seasons to this point, yet still cling to hope.
