The Colorado Buffaloes emerged victorious in their latest Big 12 match-up against the Cincinnati Bearcats, securing a 34-23 win in front of their home crowd at Folsom Field. As the dust settled on this exciting game, it was clear that the Buffs had their sights set on one goal: winning the Big 12 championship. With their only loss so far being to Nebraska, the road to the College Football Playoff seemed to be through a successful run in their conference.
However, with a 4-1 record in the Big 12, the Buffs knew they couldn't do it alone. They would need some help along the way. Their main focus was to win their remaining games, starting with a tough matchup against Texas Tech after a bye week. The Buffs would then be favored in their final three regular season games against Utah, Kansas, and Oklahoma State. But with other teams vying for the top spot, it was clear that it would be a crowded race to the finish.
Teams like BYU and Iowa State also had their eyes on the Big 12 title, and they too would need some luck to secure their spot in the championship game. BYU's two toughest games would be on the road against Utah and Arizona State, while Iowa State would have to navigate through two road games against Kansas and Utah before facing off against Kansas State in the highly-anticipated Farmegeddon showdown.
The game itself was full of excitement, with the Buffs making history on their very first drive. Wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. caught what looked like a 57-yard touchdown pass, but his celebration was cut short when he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The Buffs would eventually score on that drive, and quarterback Shedeur Sanders would go on to break the CU record for most consecutive completions at 15.
But the real surprise came when head coach Deion Sanders took to the microphone to address the crowd. With debris being thrown onto the field, he implored the fans to act accordingly and stop the disturbance. This moment was made all the more special by the presence of 99-year-old CU fan Peggy Coppom, who was honored on the jumbotron with the question, "What Would Peggy Do?"
As the game went on, the Buffs continued to dominate and eventually secured the win over the Bearcats. With their eyes still set on the ultimate goal of a Big 12 championship, the Buffs will need to stay focused and continue their winning ways. And for the fans, it's time to start making those bowl game plans, as the Buffs and their state rivals, the Rams, have a chance to make it to the postseason in the same year for the first time in ages. So keep an eye on these talented teams and see where they end up in the coming weeks.
