The last time the Colorado Buffaloes played, they blew a 29-0 lead to the Stanford Cardinal and lost 46-43. There was no get-right game immediately afterward, as the Buffaloes went on their bye week. So, they had to wait until Week 9 to get back in the win column.
Colorado officially returns on Saturday, Oct. 28, when they face the No. 23 UCLA Bruins. Colorado needs just two wins to qualify for a bowl game. This is the start of a difficult final stretch of the season, where they have to play against Oregon State, Arizona, Washington State, and Utah, in that order, after facing UCLA. So, that bowl berth is far from a given, but they can increase their odds with a win on Saturday.

In Colorado's final five games (including against UCLA) three of their opponents are ranked in the AP Top 25. While Arizona is unranked, they have proven to be the spoiler team in the Pac-12. Sure, they don't have the wins, but they have made life difficult for top teams like Washington and USC.
Again, two wins in the next five games, and Colorado will go bowling for the first time since 2020.
