2012 Colorado Buffaloes football team
The 2012 Colorado Buffaloes football team represented the University of Colorado Boulder in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by second-year head coach and alumnus Jon Embree, the Buffaloes played home games on campus at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. The season was a disaster for the Buffaloes, who were regularly blown out by their opponents. CU lost to FCS Sacramento State, and only managed a single win with a late comeback at Washington State in Mike Leach's first season with the Cougars. Two days after the season on November 25, Embree was fired; he compiled a  record, including 1–11 in his final year. To date, this is the worst season in program history. Since 1917, CU previously had one-win seasons twice (1980, 1984; both 1–10). Schedule
