After the Kansas game, I basically wrote the title game off for the Buffs this year. I still want to know what needs to happen for the Buffs to win. They are not YET mathematically eliminated from contention. A little research dug this up:
CU needs three things to happen in order to win the north. Far fetched? Yes. However, in 04 and 05 CU needed FIVE things to happen… Here they are:


1. Win Out
2. KU needs to lose 3 games (out of 4) as they hold the tiebreaker.
3. KSU needs to lose 1 game as they hold the tiebreaker.

Odds of this happening? Very very long. I fully expect #3 to happen, but KU’s schedule (Nebraska, @OSU, ISU, Mizzou) includes 3 of 4 at home and would require at least 2 significant upsets.
As for #1? Well, I picked against the Buffs this week. Consider it a good luck charm!
I give the odds of CU pulling this off at about 150 to 1. Not because I like the Buffs to lose, but because I think Kansas is too strong to lose 3 of 4. Your Odds?
