Cameron Ward returns at quarterback after playing really well for Washington State in his first FBS season last year. I think he’s going to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Pac-12 this year and, for some reason, he’s still wildly overlooked.

Colorado is going to see just why many consider him one of the better quarterbacks in the conference and a potential NFL draft prospect.

Washington State runs away with this one and ends Colorado’s bowl hopes.

Prediction: Loss (4-7, 3-5)

The final game of the season will be pretty much a lost cause because Utah has won back-to-back Pac-12 titles and the Utes are incredibly difficult to beat at home.

If Utah is out of the Pac-12 title race at this point, the Buffaloes could potentially steal a win, but I don’t see Kyle Whittingham letting that happen.

Prediction: Loss (4-8, 3-6)
