Possible Scenarios For The 9-2 Colorado Buffaloes

Colorado Football - What Could Still Happen

Scernario	What has to happen	Record Would Be	What Bowl Game Would They Play In

Win Out	Beat Utah, Washington/WSU in PAC 12 Title Game, Selected to CFB Playoffs. Win CFP Playoff Game Semifinal, Win National Championship	13-2	Would play in and win the College Football National Title Game
Win PAC 12 Title, selected for CFB Playoffs	Beat Utah, Washington or WSU in PAC 12 Title Game, CFB Semifinals, win or lose the National Title Game	13-2 or 12-3 or 11-3	If Colorado won the PAC 12 title and was selected to the CFB Playoffs they could at worst finish 11-3 if they lost in the semifinals, 12-3 if they lost in the National title game, and 13-2 if they won the whole thing
Win PAC 12 Title Game, not selected for CFB Playoffs	Beat Utah, and Washington or WSU, then win or lose Bowl Game	12-2 or 11-3	If Colorado beats let's say Washington or WSU for the PAC 12 Title and was not selected to the CFB Playoffs, they would likely play in the Rose Bowl.
Lose PAC 12 Title Game	Beat Utah, lose PAC 12 title, then win or lose Bowl Game	11-3 or 10-4	Rose Bowl likely. if Washington wins out and is selected to the CFB playoffs. If Washington is not selected for the CFB Playoffs, they'll head to the Rose Bowl and you could likely see Colorado in the Alamo Bowl vs. the Big 12 #2.
Lose to Utah	Lose to Utah, win or lose Bowl Game	10-3 or 9-4	A loss to Utah would put the USC Trojans in first place of the South as they have the edge over CU. This would place the Buffs in 4th place in the PAC 12 which could send them to the Fosters Farms Bowl vs. a Big Ten team.
