No. 25 Colorado is gearing up to face off against Oklahoma State on Black Friday in a crucial matchup to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Colorado, now 8-3 after a loss to Kansas, will rely on standout player Travis Hunter, who has been a force on both offense and defense for the Buffaloes. Oklahoma State, on the other hand, is having a disappointing season under Mike Gundy, with a risk of going winless in conference play for the first time since 1994. The Cowboys’ running game has suffered, with running back Ollie Gordon II failing to live up to expectations.
The two teams have only faced off once since Colorado left the Big 12, with Oklahoma State coming out on top in the 2016 Alamo Bowl. Despite the challenges, Colorado still has a shot at making it to the Big 12 title game, but they need to secure a win against Oklahoma State. The game is set to take place on Friday, Nov. 29 at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, and will be televised on ABC.
In terms of predictions, Colorado is favored to win due to their strong offense and Oklahoma State’s struggling defense. Freshman quarterback Maealiuaki Smith showed promise in a recent game, but it may not be enough to overcome Colorado’s firepower. The game is expected to be high scoring, with a predicted total score over 65.5. SportsLine’s computer model is also calling for a number of upsets in Week 14 of college football.
