The Cougars showed promise with a 4-0 start but have since dropped six consecutive games and sit at the bottom of the Pac-12 standings. Washington State's season has followed a similar trajectory. They sit at 1-6 in Pac-12 play with the lone conference win coming against Arizona State on Oct. The Buffaloes suffered a last-second 34-31 defeat to Arizona last weekend for their fourth-consecutive loss. The Buffaloes have lost six of their last seven games following a 3-0 start and now need to run the table during the final two weeks to reach a bowl game for the first time since 2016. A shot at bowl eligibility for Colorado in coach Deion Sanders first season at the helm will be on the line when the Buffaloes travel to Pullman, Washington, for a Friday night Pac-12 showdown with Washington State.
