Colorado Upsets No. 14 Houston 42-32

Colorado upset No. 14 Houston 42-32 on Friday, Nov. 13, at Folsom Field, rallying from a 13-point deficit and scoring 28 consecutive points. The win moved the Buffaloes to 4-6 and marked their first victory over an AP top-15 opponent since 2007; they must win their final two games to become bowl-eligible. Houston fell to 7-3, ending its realistic College Football Playoff hopes and knocking it out of the Big 12 title race. The result provided relief for coach Deion Sanders after Colorado lost six of its previous seven games, while his reported $25.5 million buyout would make a potential dismissal costly.
