Colorado Buffaloes Face Challenges Ahead of 2026 Season

As the Colorado Buffaloes gear up for the 2026 college football season, Coach Deion Sanders finds himself under scrutiny following a challenging previous year. The team, which ended the last season with a 3-9 record, is now looking to improve after a significant drop from their 9-4 performance in 2024.

Last season, the Buffaloes struggled offensively and defensively, ranking near the bottom in both total offense and defense. With only five starters returning and a composite incoming class ranked No. 55, the team has seen a major overhaul, including 66 new players and new coordinators. Despite these challenges, Colorado is attracting betting interest, with many placing wagers on the Over for their win total.

The Buffaloes are currently projected to have a tough schedule, facing teams like Texas Tech and Arizona State, which were avoided last year. The team's win total is set at 4.5, with odds suggesting a cautious outlook for the upcoming season.
