Colorado’s Rough Season
Colorado’s loss marks another disappointing result. The Buffaloes now sit at 3-7 overall and 1-6 in conference play. They occupy last place in the Big 12 standings. Head coach Deion Sanders faces mounting pressure after a disappointing season.
This was Colorado’s final home game of the season at Folsom Field. The Buffaloes couldn’t get a victory in front of their home fans. Their recent form has been particularly troubling. Colorado lost their previous game 29-22 to West Virginia on November 8th.
The real concern lies in conference performance. Colorado has won just 1 conference game and lost 6. They’ve given up substantial points in recent contests. The season appears lost with only one regular-season game remaining. Colorado faces a tough road ahead toward season’s end.
Arizona State’s Impressive Performance
| Statistic | Arizona State | Colorado |
|---|---|---|
| Final Score | 27 | 17 |
| Overall Record | 7-3 | 3-7 |
| Conference Record | 5-2 | 1-6 |
| Big 12 Ranking | 5th | Last Place |
| Recent Form (Last 5) | 4-1 | 1-4 |
Arizona State earned their second straight win. The Sun Devils beat West Virginia 25-23 just a week earlier. This victory improves their Big 12 conference positioning. ASU continues their pursuit of bowl eligibility and conference tournament consideration. Currently sitting at 5-2 in conference play places them firmly in contention.
What’s Next for Both Teams
- Arizona State has one final regular-season game remaining before the postseason
- Colorado will play their final game to finish out the disappointing 2025 campaign
- Big 12 Conference championship tournament will follow the regular season
- Bowl game selections depend on final records and conference tournament results
- Colorado likely headed for a lower-tier bowl if eligible at all
Arizona State leaves Boulder with momentum heading into the season’s final stretch. The Sun Devils have proven they can compete with stronger opponents. Their recent form shows improvement from earlier struggles. ASU will look to finish strong. Colorado faces harsh reality after their fourth consecutive loss.
What Does This Mean for Bowl Season?
This win positions Arizona State nicely for bowl selection conversations. The Sun Devils could potentially reach eight wins with a final victory. That would make them attractive to bowl committees. ASU has shown they belong in the Big 12 elite.
For Colorado, the outlook grows bleaker each week. At 3-7, they need a win just to reach four victories. Bowl eligibility requires six wins. The Buffaloes appear headed for a bowl drought. Their season represents disappointment after preseason optimism about Deion Sanders and program direction.
