CU Buffs football vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys: TV channel, time, what to know

DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado Buffaloes are in a four-way tie atop the Big 12 standings, but with most of the tiebreakers not in their favor they have a tough road ahead to make the conference championship.

One thing they need to do for sure though, is beat the Oklahoma State Cowboys this week in Boulder.

How to watch Colorado vs. Oklahoma State on TV

The Buffaloes are back in Boulder for their last game of the regular season, hosting the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Black Friday morning.

  • Kickoff: 10 a.m. MT
  • Channel: ESPN

Kickoff between the Buffaloes and the Cowboys takes place Friday at 10 a.m. MT.

Tickets for Colorado vs. Oklahoma State

Friday morning's game isn't a sellout - but it is coming close. Only a handful of tickets remain through the team's ticketing website, and most of them are single seats. Prices start at $161.

On the resale market, SeatGeek has tickets starting at $98 with availability in most sections - although even here the options are somewhat limited.

Forecast for Colorado vs. Oklahoma State

It'll be sunny but chilly Friday for the CU game on Friday, according to Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Liz McGiffin.

Temperatures for tailgating will be in the 20s, with a light breeze making it feel more like the teens. By 10 a.m., temperatures will be near freezing alongside a mainly sunny sky. 

Wind gusts will pick up to 15-20 mph during the game. So, even though temperatures will climb to the 40s by the end of the game, it will feel 5 degrees cooler. 

Key things to know for Colorado vs. Oklahoma State

A wild first season of the expanded Big 12 is down to what should be a chaotic final weekend.

Through all the upsets, unexpected rises and falls, there are nine teams still in the mix to play in the conference championship game.

No. 14 Arizona State and No. 17 Iowa State have the best odds, yet a multitude of scenarios could play out — 256 to be exact. There's even the possibility of an eight-team tie.

It may take a mathematician to figure out which teams are in the Dec. 7 game in Arlington, Texas — even for the ones who win.

Star power

Travis Hunter, Colorado. The Buffaloes' two-way star has excelled on both sides of the field, making him one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.

Shadeur Sanders, Colorado. If it weren't for Hunter, Sanders might be the Heisman favorite. The son of coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur is fifth nationally with 3,488 yards passing and has been a big part of the Buffaloes' turnaround.

Going bowling

The Big 12 has nine teams already bowl-eligible and two more a win away. The winner of the Big 12 championship game will be in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot.

Arizona State, Iowa State, No. 19 BYU, Colorado, Kansas State, Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia have already clinched bowl berths. Kansas and Cincinnati can get into the postseason with wins this weekend.
