Does CSU play today? College football schedule for Rams' after bye

The Colorado State football team has some time to work to get back on track.

The Rams lost their 2026 Pac-12 opener 56-26 on Oct. 3 on CSU’s homecoming game in front of a record crowd.

What’s next for CSU? Here’s what you need to know about Colorado State and its schedule for Week 6 of the 2026 college football season.

Following a dramatic loss to Oregon State that ended with defensive coordinator Tyson Summers being dismissed from the program, the Rams are off in Week 6 of the college football season.

CSU is allowing 52 points per game over its last three contests, including back-to-back weeks allowing more than 50. It’s the first time since 1984 for a CSU team to allow back-to-back 50-point games.

The week off is CSU’s lone bye of 2026, but the Rams do have another longer break between their sixth and seventh games due to playing a Thursday game in Week 7.

That Thursday contests comes off the bye week as the Rams head to play at Texas State on Oct. 15 for the second Pac-12 game for each squad. Texas State is also on a bye week and the game against the Rams will be the first Pac-12 home game for the Bobcats.
