BOULDER — It has now been approximately a month since Colorado began the pursuit of a sixth win and bowl eligibility.
It was, to say the least, a rough month. Mike MacIntyre's Buffs had their opportunities in every game in the stretch — including two games in which they had third-quarter leads — but were unable to seal the deal in any of those games.
Now, the team that was once 5-0 and ranked in the nation's top 20 has dropped four straight. It means the Buffs (5-4 overall, 2-4 Pac-12) have had seven chances in the last two seasons to clinch bowl eligibility, and have come up short each time.
