Colorado football is preparing for the 2026 season after a disappointing 3-9 finish last year. Head coach Deion Sanders is looking to improve the team's performance with two new coordinators and over 40 transfers. The season opens with a key game against Georgia Tech, where a strong start is crucial for bowl game hopes. Early predictions suggest a 6-6 record is plausible if the Buffaloes secure wins against Texas Tech, Utah, or Arizona State. The last three games of the season will also be critical for achieving bowl eligibility.
