Big Fort Collins, Loveland matchups top NoCo football playoff schedule
We're getting to the good stuff now in the Colorado high school football playoffs. Every classification is into the Round of 16 or beyond, with champions less than a month from being decided across the state. In Northern Colorado, several top teams begin their playoff journey, including Fort Collins, Roosevelt, Loveland, Timnath and Mead all coming off byes in the opening round. Here is the schedule for the second full week of CHSAA playoff football, including Games of the Week for the Fort Collins area and Northern Colorado: Fort Collins-area football playoff schedule (Nov. 13-14) 5A 2nd round: No. 4 Fort Collins vs. No. 13 Northfield (7 p.m. Nov. 13) 3A 2nd round: No. 7 Timnath vs. No. 10 Eagle Valley (6 p.m. Nov. 13) 2A quarterfinals: No. 3 Wellington vs. No. 11 Basalt (1 p.m. Nov. 14) Local Game of the Week: No. 4 Fort Collins vs. No. 13 Northfield All right, Fort Collins football, now's the time to prove it to the rest of the state after a 10-0 regular season. The Lambkins start the challenge with a Denver team that is perhaps more battle-tested while facing three top-10 teams and eight playoff teams during the regular season.
