Colorado State to Play Miami in Arizona Bowl

The Boise State Broncos, after winning their second consecutive Mountain West Championship, have secured the No. 3 seed in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoffs, starting December 20, with the Fiesta Bowl scheduled for December 31. Meanwhile, the Miami University RedHawks will face Colorado State University in the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl on December 28, marking Miami's 16th bowl appearance and CSU's first since 2017. Both teams finished strong regular seasons, with Miami at 8-5 and CSU at 8-4, and will receive unspecified NIL payments for their participation. The Colorado Buffaloes, boasting a 9-3 record under head coach Deion Sanders, are likely to play in the Alamo Bowl after narrowly missing the Big 12 Championship Game. Despite their past struggles in bowl games, the Buffaloes hope to end a four-game postseason losing streak. The upcoming bowl games highlight a thrilling finish to the college football season.
