This one is obvious. If Colorado loses to Washington on Friday night, then none of the other stuff we talk about here will matter.

Colorado must first take care of its own business by defeating a solid Huskies team in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Should it accomplish that feat, it will force the selection committee to leave out the conference champion and include perhaps two Big 10 teams.

Washington has lost just one game all season, so a win over the Huskies would look very good on Colorado’s resume.

Colorado has lost six games in a row against Washington and is 0-4 against them since joining the Pac-12. The Buffs last win over the Huskies came back in the 1996 Holiday Bowl.
