A streak dating back to 1946 will end.
The Colorado State and Wyoming football teams aren’t scheduled to play each other in the 2027 season.
Barring the two meeting in a postseason game, it will end 81 seasons in a row for the teams to play each other. The last break was from 1943-45 due to World War II (CSU didn’t field a team in 1943 and 1944).

The break comes as conference realignment and schedule changes have split the teams.
CSU left Mountain West for the Pac-12, beginning in the 2026 season. Wyoming stayed in the Mountain West.
The teams managed to get a nonconference game on the schedule for 2026 (won 35-13 by the Rams) and have signed a deal to play every year from 2028-2036.
But no agreement was reached for a 2027 game. With a series of schedule changes for 2027 taking place, the Rams will play seven home games and not play Wyoming. Both teams already had full nonconference schedules for the 2027 season when the conference split happened.

The Border War series began in 1899 and has been played almost every year since. The 2027 season will be only the 11th season in which CSU fielded a team without a game between the two since the series started.
CSU will have no official rivalry games in 2027, with none of Wyoming, Colorado and Air Force on the schedule.
Since CSU won the Bronze Boot in 2026, the trophy will remain in Fort Collins until at least 2028.
