Colorado football is running out of opportunities to salvage its disappointing 2026 season, and the Buffaloes face their toughest remaining challenge Friday evening when No. 16 Houston visits Folsom Field.
The Buffs (3-6, 1-5 Big 12) are coming off a frustrating 20-10 loss at Arizona State, a game in which their offense struggled to find any consistency. Head coach Deion Sanders and Colorado now need to win their final three games to reach bowl eligibility, beginning with a matchup against one of the Big 12's top teams.
Houston (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) presents a difficult challenge, particularly with dual-threat quarterback Conner Weigman leading the third-ranked Big 12 Cougars' offense. Sanders praised Weigman earlier this week, calling him one of the best
quarterbacks in the country.
Colorado will need a much better offensive performance to pull off the upset, keep its postseason hopes alive and perhaps even keep its head coach in place.
Here's everything you need to know about how and where to watch Colorado take on No. 16 Houston.
