Colorado Buffaloes (official thread)

Great. We have another arrogant asshole program to laugh at now.



2-3 is their absolute best case scenario.

They'll likely beat Colorado State, who is a trainwreck at the moment.

Maybe Nebraska? Not even sure i'd call this a tossup still. Nebraska was bad last year but they were still quite a bit better than Colorado on paper.

They inject quite a bit from the transfer portal, more meh low-mid level guys than upper end guys though. The defense gave up 40+ points in all but 2 games last year. Don't think there's enough there to completely fix that year 1.

The offense still is going to be a hot mess too. Even with Sanders kid at QB. They could not run the ball this year and their WRs suck.

So they'll have 2 undersized(but talented) CBs as their stars. With a QB who's knock is that he feasts on lesser competition.
Coach Prime had more talent than any of the SWAC teams and still lost a close bowl game, when he should've been able to blow them out. Now he goes to the arguably the worst FBS team, brings in comparable talent albeit with little experience. I wonder how 2 CBs who aren't 180lbs are going to do against much bigger WRs and RBs in space. Because Prime was never a tackler, and I wonder if his DB coaches teach that or just to make business decisions and just focus on coverage skills.

Colorado holds 'substantive' talks with Big 12 as Buffaloes consider leaving Pac-12​

With the latest round of realignment having slowed to a crawl after a tumultuous two years, it appears as it may be close to picking up steam again. Colorado has been in "substantive" talks with the Big 12 about possibly joining the growing league, a source with knowledge of the discussions tells CBS Sports.

While a move out of the Pac-12 is not assured, Colorado is performing due diligence to determine whether to return to the conference it once called home. The Buffaloes, like the rest of the Pac-12, remain in wait-and-see mode regarding a new media rights deal that has yet to be solidified.

Colorado and the Big 12 have met face-to-face while involved in consistent talks over a period several months, according to multiple sources. It was made clear that a move to the Big 12 would not be made without the support of football coach Deion Sanders.

CU's rumored Big 12 interest was the talk of the Fiesta Summit earlier this month in Scottsdale, Arizona, with several sources speculating in the hallways. It became more public last week when the Oklahoman's Berry Tramel reported, "Colorado is ready to commit joining the Big 12 'soon.'"

"I have no comment other than what I said last week," Colorado athletic director Rick George told CBS Sports while not exactly shooting down the Big 12 talks. "We are proud members of the Pac-12. In a perfect world, we'd love to be in the Pac-12, but we also have to do what is right for Colorado at the end of the day."

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark and Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff had no comment, while a representative for Sanders did not respond to CBS Sports' request.

It is expected that Colorado would receive an equal media rights share ($31.7 million, beginning in 2025) to join the Big 12, making the move even more attractive. The league's contract with ESPN and Fox is believed to guarantee an equal share for any expansion teams so long as they are currently Power Five members.

It seems like which conference Colorado ends up in depends in part on what the media companies negotiating with the PAC want. Who they are and why they would want Colorado in one or the other of these conferences, I don't know. Interest in carrying the Coach Prime show, maybe?

That seems incredibly short sighted. He's either gonna be fired or in the SEC by the time the fruits of these discussions are harvested.
