I suspect the clock will strike midnight for the Buffs when they face Washington next week (assuming they hold their lead tonight). Then the people who bloviate every week about how they're surely going to lose can claim to have been right all along.
Don't forget Cleveland won a championship and PSU won the Big 10 East in a year where going into the last game of the regular season OSU and Michigan were ranked 2 and 3 in the nation. All signs at the world is near it's end.
