It feels like every new coach gets a win during his first season that he probably shouldn’t and the upset becomes one of those “defining” victories for his tenure.

This could very well be that win for Deion Sanders.

However, Oregon State is just going to have too much firepower with DJ Uiagalelei transferring in and the program trending heavily in the right direction.

This game will be close, however.

Prediction: Loss (3-6, 2-4)

Needing to win out in order to make a bowl game, the postseason hopes will be hanging on a win at home over an Arizona team that may be better under Jedd Fisch, but still isn’t a contender, by any means.

I think this is a game that Colorado actually wins and gives fans slight hope for a bowl berth even though the last two games are on the road and one is against the two-time defending Pac-12 champs.

Prediction: Win (4-6, 3-4)
