The stakes are simple for Colorado and Washington State on Friday night. The winner is still eligible for a bowl game.
The two Pac-12 teams enter their weeknight matchup (10:30 p.m. ET, FS1) on serious skids. Both are 4-6. Colorado has lost six of its last seven games. Washington State has lost six straight.
The Cougars are 4.5-point favorites at home as Colorado is still performing well against the spread this season. The Buffaloes are 6-3-1 against the number while Washington State is 4-6 vs. the number.
The loser also gets out of the basement of the Pac-12.
