Colorado enters its fourth season under Deion Sanders with a 4.5 win total, the lowest in the Big 12, reflecting trader consensus on continuity challenges after a 3-9 finish in 2025. The Buffaloes added over 40 transfers and new coordinators Brennan Marion and Chris Marve but lost significant production, while facing a demanding schedule that includes road games at Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Baylor, and later matchups against Texas Tech and Utah. Through four games, Colorado sits at 2-2 with a narrow road win over Georgia Tech and a blowout victory versus Weber State offset by heavy losses at Northwestern and Baylor. Julian Lewis anchors the offense, yet defensive inconsistencies and a thin margin for error in conference play keep the under as the favored outcome in the market.
