KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Western Michigans Row The Boat mantra gets a national stage this weekend.P.J. Fleck and the No. 14 Broncos (10-0, 6-0 Mid-American) hope to continue their historic season Saturday at home against Buffalo (2-8, 1-5).The Broncos, one of two unbeatens remaining in the Football Bowl Subdivision along with top-ranked Alabama, are even hosting ESPNs College GameDay, just the second time the popular program has visited a MAC campus and the first time since 2003, when Northern Illinois visited Bowling Green.I remember the `GameDay atmosphere, how crazy it was, how packed the stadium was, said Fleck, a receiver at Northern Illinois that year. Were very honored to represent the Mid-American Conference and showing them, and the whole country, what `Row the Boat is all about.Fleck, who took over at Western Michigan in 2013 and finished 1-11 that season, uses the phrase to promote self-sacrifice for the betterment of the team.Once you find your purpose, it really changes your entire life, Fleck said. My purpose is to serve and give. When you find that purpose, it really provides energy every single day.Here are some other things to watch as the five-touchdown favorite Broncos try to stay unbeaten:PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONSThe Broncos, ranked No. 21 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings , are looking to stay in contention for a BCS bowl bid and extend their overall win streak to 13, dating to last season. Western Michigan, which had never won 10 games in a season before, needs to win its final two regular-season games and the MAC championship to have a chance at a major bowl.HIGH PRAISEDespite Buffalos record this season, Fleck believes the future is bright for coach Lance Leipold and his Bulls, who have lost two straight. Buffalo finished 5-7 last season.Lance Leipold is one of the best coaches in the country, based on his track record, and they play so hard for him, Fleck said. Were going to expect nothing different. Were going to get their A-plus game, we know that.LOPSIDED STATSWestern Michigan, led by senior quarterback Zach Terrell, senior receiver Corey Davis and junior running back Jarvion Franklin, has the MACs best scoring offense at 44.4 points per game, while Buffalo is last at 17.9. The Broncos also have the top scoring defense at 19.5 points per game, while the Bulls are 10th at 32.3.Our margin of error is very small right now and we have to find a way to overcome that, Leipold said. Our team is still going through growing pains, but Im very proud of the way we compete. We have the biggest challenge of the year this Saturday.NO LETDOWNFleck doesnt expect his players to overlook Buffalo with a huge matchup looming Nov. 25 against Toledo (8-2, 5-1).Were going to get everybodys A-plus game, Fleck said. When you play your B-minus game or C-plus game, and somebody plays their A-plus game, its going to be a dogfight.

PHOENIX -- The Colorado Rockies already slim postseason hopes are fading fast.The Rockies lost 11-4 to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night and have allowed 23 runs in two straight defeats to lowly Arizona.The reason why is simple, says manager Walt Weiss.Weve just got to pitch better, Weiss said.Starter Jorge De La Rosa and reliever Eddie Butler did not pitch well, and the Diamondbacks took advantage. Jean Segura homered twice and Brandon Drury added his second homer in two nights.Segura hit solo shots off De La Rosa (8-8) in the first and fourth innings, setting a career high with his 13th and 14th homers. Drury homered in the fifth to give the Diamondbacks a 7-4 lead, and Paul Goldschmidt had three hits, scored three runs and stole his 25th base in support of winning pitcher Robbie Ray (8-13).The loss dropped Colorado to 7 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second NL wild card. But on Tuesday, things looked promising for a win early.The Rockies jumped on Ray quickly for three runs. Charlie Blackmon led off the game with a walk and scored on DJ LeMahieus double. Then Nolan Arenado hit a blooper just inside the right-field line that turned into a triple, and Arenado scored on a groundout by Carlos Gonzalez.The Diamondbacks answered in their half of the first against De La Rosa. Segura led off with a homer and Arizona sent all nine batters to the plate in scoring four runs. The first inning lasted 39 minutes.Ray pitched five innings and allowed four runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and a walk. He surpassed the 200-strikeout mark for the season.The first inning was like getting punched in the nose there, and we battled after that, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. It didnt seem like there weree any easy innings for (Ray).dddddddddddd. ... I thought the offense coming in scoring four gave him a lot of life. Gave him time to sit, kind of get it back together.Segura homered and Yasmany Tomas singled in a run in the fourth, giving the Diamondbacks a 6-3 lead. De La Rosa lasted only 3 1/3 innings and gave up five earned runs and eight hits with four walks.Blackmon hit his 25th home run to open the fifth, a solo shot. But Arizona scored five runs in the bottom of the inning to take control.I wasnt locating my fastball to my glove side. So it put me behind on counts when I was throwing that way early and because theyre in hitters counts, they get a little better piece than they probably should have on some of the pitches, Butler said. A jam shot, a couple of ground balls, all of which were possible outs but just didnt fall my way.Tomas added three hits and two RBI for the Diamondbacks, who have won two straight after losing six in a row.STREAKS ALIVELeMahieu reached base in his 30th straight game. ... The Diamondbacks, with 17 hits Tuesday, are the first team since the 1930 Brooklyn Robins to record 10-plus hits in 13 or more consecutive games against a single opponent in a single season. The Robins streak was 17 games against Philadelphia.UP NEXTRockies: RHP Jeff Hoffman (0-3) faces the Diamondbacks on Wednesday for the first time in his career.Diamondbacks: RHP Rubby De La Rosa (4-5) is set to make his ninth career appearance against the Rockies on Wednesday.
