As the regular season winds down, the CU Buffs have their sights set on the Big 12 championship game. However, after a tough loss to Kansas last Saturday, they now find themselves tied with three other teams - Arizona State, BYU, and Iowa State - all with a 6-2 conference record. This puts the Buffs behind the others in terms of overall record, with the other three teams sitting comfortably at 9-2.
But the Buffs aren't giving up hope just yet. They know that they still have one game left to play and they're determined to make the most of it. This Saturday, they will face off against Oklahoma State at Folsom Field, and they're counting on a win to keep their championship dreams alive. Of course, they also need a little bit of luck on their side.
According to the Big 12, there are a couple of different scenarios that could play out for the Buffs to make it to the championship game. If two teams end up tied with a 7-2 record, they will automatically become the game's participants. And in this case, the Buffs would secure their spot if they win and two of the other three 6-2 teams lose.
But things get a little more complicated if three or four teams end up tied with a 7-2 record. In these cases, the matchups will depend on which team loses and which teams win. For example, if Colorado loses, it would be Arizona State versus Iowa State in the championship game. But if Arizona State loses, it would be Iowa State versus BYU. And if Iowa State loses, it would be Arizona State versus BYU. However, if BYU loses, the outcome would depend on other results, such as a Texas Tech win over West Virginia or a Baylor win over Kansas and Cincinnati's win over TCU.
For the teams entering the week with a 5-3 record, their path to the championship game is even trickier. They must not only win their game but also hope that at least three of the four 6-2 teams suffer a loss. It's certainly a lot to keep track of, but the Buffs are laser-focused on their own game and hoping for the best.
As the Buffs prepare for their final game of the regular season, they know that every play, every decision, and every outcome could make all the difference in their quest for the championship game. They're determined to give it their all and leave everything on the field. And with the support of their loyal fans, they're ready to fight until the very end. Let's go Buffs!
