Colorado has made 28 bowl games in its history, but the Buffaloes haven't reached the postseason since 2007. At the midway point of the 2016 season, the Buffs have earned four of the six wins needed to become bowl-eligible in Mike MacIntyre's fourth season.

According to ESPN's Football Power Index, the drought is likely to end this season. The Buffs are given a 98 percent chance to become bowl eligible.
