Colorado v Utah - 5.30pm kickoff on FOX

Well ... at least it's not a 7pm or 8pm start. Let's just hope for the fans' sake it's unseasonably mild that night.
 
These last two regular season game are massive for our program. I think there is still some national skepticism about "The Rise" since we haven't beat a ranked team. But win these two and this **** blows up. National media and blue-chip recruits will be lining up to worship at the altar of Ralphie.
 
2 games on the national Fox channel, with one being in prime time on the East Coast, make up for that. These are our first appearances on one of the big 4 stations since 2009.

Yup 7:30 on fox on the east coast is a great slot. 430/530/630/730 that will put us right in the perfect time of day to watch football. Love this! Should be a great atmosphere, can't wait!
 
Sweet...this means three straight national TV appearances given that CU plays in the CCG.
 
Well ... at least it's not a 7pm or 8pm start. Let's just hope for the fans' sake it's unseasonably mild that night.

Early forecast is high of 58 with no chance of precipitation.

It's been unseasonably ****ing mild since September. It's getting old.
 
Instead of CFP scenarios, someone should be putting all the possible Pac 12 South scenarios together. So losing this week basically eliminates CU from P12 contention?
I believe if USC loses we buy ourselves another week regardless of what Utah does.
 
Is there any way it's not for the Pac 12 South title?
I hid it in an obscure thread, but see my post here:
The scenarios are hopefully now simple enough for Brady Quinn to understand them:
  • CU wins out: CU wins the South (USC and Utah irrelevant)
  • CU loses to WSU but beats Utah
    • AND USC loses to UCLA: CU wins the South (CU 7-2 in P12 play, USC 6-3, Utah v. Oregon irrelevant)
    • AND USC beats UCLA: USC wins the South (CU and USC both 7-2, USC has H2H tiebreaker, Utah v. Oregon irrelevant)
  • CU beats WSU but loses to Utah
    • AND Utah loses to Oregon:
      • AND USC loses to UCLA: CU wins the South (CU 7-2 in P12 play, USC and Utah 6-3)
      • AND USC beats UCLA: USC wins the South (CU and USC both 7-2, USC has H2H tiebreaker)
    • AND Utah beats Oregon:
      • AND USC loses to UCLA: Utah wins the South (CU and Utah both 7-2, Utah has H2H tiebreaker)
      • AND USC beats UCLA: Utah wins the South (CU, Utah, and USC all 7-2, Utah has H2H victories against both)
  • CU loses to both WSU and Utah
    • AND Utah beats Oregon: Utah wins the South (USC v. UCLA irrelevant)
    • AND Utah loses to Oregon:
      • AND USC beats UCLA: USC wins the south (USC 7-2 in P12 play, CU and Utah 6-3)
      • AND USC loses to UCLA: Utah wins the south (CU, Utah, and USC all 6-3, Utah has H2H victories against both)

It will have SOME implication for the P12 South title, but it's not a winner-take-all if CU doesn't beat WSU or if Utah doesn't beat Oregon. If those two things happen, or if CU beats WSU, Utah loses to Oregon, and USC loses to UCLA, it's winner-take-all.
 
Multiple-team ties If three or more teams are tied atop a division at the end of the season, the following criteria are used to eliminate teams until just two teams remain, at which point the two-team tiebreaking procedure is used.
  1. Head-to-head results (best record in games between tied teams)
  2. Record in intra-divisional games
  3. Record against the next highest placed team in the division (based on the record in all conference games), proceeding through the division
  4. Record in common conference games
  5. Highest ranking in SportSource Analytics poll entering the final weekend of the regular season
 
Initial forecast from weather.com:

High of 56, low of 34, 0% chance of precipitation, and winds from the WSW @ 7 mph.

We all know this can change daily, but this is the starting point.

Can't ask for anything more than this. Win two tough games both at home to finish the year you go to the Pac 12 Championship ranked in the top 7.
