Another week, another win for the Colorado Buffaloes who just happen to be the hottest team in the Pac-12 right now. Facing a tough Washington State team in Week 12, the Buffaloes rose to the occasion and took care of business at home, 38-24.

Washington State was previously unbeaten in conference play and that was a big win for the Buffaloes. It’s crazy to think this program has been the laughing stock of the conference for years, but guys like Sefo Liufau have toughed it out and they are now reaping the rewards of hard work and dedication.

It’s been a while since the Buffaloes were considered one of college football’s best teams, but after a 9-2 start and a Pac-12 South title, Colorado is primed to make a playoff run.

Imagine the pandemonium in Colorado beat Utah in the final regular season game and then walloped a team like Washington in the Pac-12 Championship. How could you leave an 11-2 Colorado team out with such an impressive season?

All the Buffaloes have to do is keep winning and the rest will take care of itself.
