While Arizona didn’t make a bowl game last season in the first year under Jedd Fisch, I do think the Wildcats will be playing in the postseason this year. It just feels like the Wildcats are back on track.

Arizona will give Utah a heck of a fight here in the second-to-last week of the season. I don’t think the Wildcats have enough firepower to take down the Utes but this one will go down to the wire and maybe even a last-second field goal from Utah wins it.

Prediction: Win (8-3, 6-2)

I’m buying all the stock in Colorado this coming season now that Deion Sanders is in charge. The Buffaloes bring in one of the best transfer quarterbacks along with a heck of a class of fellow transfers.

Colorado is going to be much improved this season but just not enough to end the season with a big win at Utah.

Cameron Rising goes out in his last home game and plays his best as a Ute.

Prediction: Win (9-3, 7-2)
