Colorado State: 2026 Week 12 recap

Colorado State sits at 3–6 after absorbing a 64–38 home loss to Boise State in Week 10—a result that dropped their rating 2.6 points to −11, cementing their position at 111th in the model. The Rams are converting just 33% of third downs and managing only a 21% red-zone touchdown rate, a pair of efficiency gaps that have compounded throughout the season. GIE projects them to finish around 3.6 wins; the path to the postseason is mathematically closed. Up next is a road trip to Washington State in Week 11—a matchup where Colorado State needs to find functional offensive rhythm, even against a likely inferior opponent, to build any momentum heading into the final stretch.
