The buffs 3 losses are to Michigan/USC/Wash. Those were all top 5 teams in the country when the Buffs played each of those teams. I really like that the Buffs played Wash st and stroked them by 2 TDs. Their offense is very similar to OK St. OK St struggles with running QBs. Colorado can win in a shoot out or a grind it out type of game. Doesn't matter to them. Decent defensive edge here as well. OKie lite very explosive on offensive side of the ball, I think the Colorado offenses puts it on the B12 defense more than the Buffs D. I also think the first half is a solid wager as well. The one way Okie lite can hang around is if their Oline gives Mason Rudolph time to throw, I think this happenes in the 2nd half more often as the Dline will wear down a bit. I expect 40+ attempts from Mason, but I come back to the Wash st game where the Buffs dominated.
buffs -3
bonus play first half -1
i don't wanna hear how the PAC 12 sucks and the Big 12 just beat an SEC. take it team by team. Wash st looked nothing like their regular season offense. COlorado USC and Wash are all solid teams they are not overrated just because theyre in a "bad" conference. They took it to Michigan this year don't forget.
as far as motivation, I think both teams have similar motivations, or better yet, there is not one team that is definitely going to be more motivated than the other. Just my two cents. I will say though, this is a regular sized play. Ok st has been very good as an underdog this year, just think there is a big mismatch on defense as well as the always true statement of "Colorado has Sefo" and you don't.
