BOULDER — It's been awhile since the Colorado Buffaloes played a game with this kind of significance in Boulder.
It makes Saturday's matchup between the No. 12 AP/No. 10 CFP Buffs (8-2 overall, 6-1 Pac-12) and No. 20/22 Washington State (8-2, 7-0) exponentially more interesting. It's not only the first meeting between two ranked teams at Folsom Field since 2002, it's also a meeting of the two Pac-12 division leaders, meaning whoever walks out of Folsom with a win will be one step closer to playing in the Pac-12 championship game.
Colorado leads the all-time series with the Cougars, holding a narrow 5-4 edge — but that includes just a 2-3 record in Boulder and a 1-2 record in Pac-12 play.
