We can run the ball better than Wazzu. that goal line series would have ended up in points. Sefo running the ball causes a match up problem in that situation.You can move the ball on Washington, no doubt.
Yeah but we knew that would happen and we still wanted UW. Plus, Wash could easily jump into top 3, giving us the best possible scenario to earn a CFP quality win.Wazzu gonna drop out of the rankings imo which sucks for us
Yes. If CU wins the CCG, they punch a ticket to Pasadena automatically, the playoffs could still come calling.Washington's victory today enhances the chances of the Buffs going to the Rose Bowl or the Playoffs. [***Disclaimer---I am not looking past the tough game against the Utes tomorrow***] If the Buffs get into the CCG, and Washington wins, I believe that the Huskies would make the playoffs, and CU goes to the Rose (sorry, USC). If CU happened to win the CCG, Buffs would definitely at least be Pasadena-bound, with a slight chance at the Final Four, depending upon what happens tomorrow in other games. Amirite?
If we win tomorrow, the conference will have to be happy with the match up.
Two new contenders, both at least nominally in the running for the playoff - what more could you ask for?
Yes. If CU wins the CCG, they punch a ticket to Pasadena automatically, the playoffs could still come calling.
If we lose the CCG, things get a little less clear because USC is playing great football right now and is the hometown team.
The thing is, the Rose Bowl chances are better CU loses in the CCG to a much higher-ranked team (Washington). I get the home team thing, though. The Rose Bowl would be an instant sellout with a Washington-USC matchup, and the excuse could be that USC defeated CU.
Hell, if things go crazy with teams losing we could see a Pac-12 team in the playoff with someone in the Rose and another getting picked for the Cotton.
