Does Colorado play today? College football schedule for Buffaloes' next game after Week 6

The Colorado Buffaloes (4-1) are doing well, having won their last three games, including a dominant 48-21 win over UCF last Saturday. The Buffaloes will get some time to rest and recover as they have their first open week of the season before hosting No. 20 Kansas State next week.

Does Colorado play today?

No, the Buffaloes do not play today or at all this week.

All college football teams get a few open weeks during the season to rest, and this week, the Buffaloes have one of theirs. It is an important rest week for the Buffaloes, as they have their biggest test of the season so far coming up against the Wildcats.

Can Colorado make it to the college football playoffs this season?

The team has a strong record so far (4-1) and has won both of its in-conference games. The Buffaloes are tied with the best in-conference record in the Big 12 at 2-0 with BYU and Texas Tech. However, BYU has the tiebreaker with an overall record of 5-0. Texas Tech has the same overall record as Colorado.

In the new 12-team college football playoff format, the five conference champions with the highest ranking will automatically make the playoffs. The next seven slots will go to the next highest-ranked teams, regardless of their position in their conference.

The Buffaloes are still not ranked in the top 25. So, if the selection process were to take place today, they would not make it. To make the playoffs, the Buffaloes will need to either win the conference or play well enough to become a highly-ranked team. To do that, they will need to get wins over ranked opponents like Kansas State.
