No. 22 Colorado (7-2) at Iowa St (6-3), 7:00 pm EST

AMES, Iowa (Ticker) - No. 22 Colorado can secure a berth in the Big 12 Conference title game when it visits North Division rival Iowa State on Saturday.

The Buffaloes (7-2, 5-1 Big 12 North) have a two-game lead over the Cyclones (6-3, 3-3 North) with two contests remaining. With a win, Colorado would book its fourth spot in the conference title game in five years.

Colorado is coming off a 41-12 triumph over Missouri last Saturday. Starting at tailback due to numerous injuries, erstwhile fullback Lawrence Vickers ran for a career-best 85 yards and four touchdowns for the Buffaloes.

Like Colorado, Iowa State has won three consecutive contests, including a 45-17 triumph over Kansas State last week.

Bret Meyer tossed three TDs and Stevie Hicks ran for 149 yards and a score for the Cyclones, who became bowl eligible with the win.

Colorado has won the last four meetings and 20 of the last 21 in the series. The Buffaloes are 24-6 all-time in Ames, winning the last 10 since a 22-10 setback in 1983.
