The Colorado Buffaloes were set to play the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, but that is no longer going to happen. The Ducks have now moved into the Pac-12 Championship on Friday, meaning the Buffs are entirely up in the air at the moment.

Oregon, the second-place finisher in the Pac-12 North, have replaced the Washington Huskies in the title game. The Huskies were set to play USC, but have withdrawn because of COVID-19 issues. They previously canceled last Saturday’s game against Oregon, which coincidentally clinched a division win for Washington.

The Buffs are the backup in case USC can’t play, but that seems unlikely. The South runners-up, who have a better record than both Washington (3-1) and Oregon (3-2), are now without an opponent this weekend. There is talk that the Colorado administration is looking for a replacement game, possibly an in-state opponent or another Pac-12 team whose opponent cancels this weekend.
