Colorado Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Buffaloes miss from the Pac-12 slate?

It would’ve been nice to have Cal on the schedule. That’s one of the few teams in the Pac-12 that Colorado – even an improved one under Deion Sanders – can look to for a likely win, but on the plus side, not having to deal with Washington helps.

There are five Pac-12 road games, with dates at Oregon, UCLA, and Utah the biggest problems. However …

Colorado Football Schedule What Really Matters

Unlike most Pac-12 teams, Colorado doesn’t have to deal with a run of three road games in four weeks. Throw in the week off coming on October 21st, and there’s a nice midseason stretch when the team only leaves Boulder once from October 7th to November 17th. That’s when the wins have to start piling up, because …

Colorado Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

It’s a rough slate for Coach Prime’s bunch.

The improvements are coming, but there’s still a whole lot of rebuilding to do. Starting out at TCU and then dealing with Nebraska doesn’t exactly ease into the era. Throw in the always testy showdown against Colorado State, and there’s no true layup on the slate.

There are enough winnable games to make a big jump, though. Get by Nebraska and Colorado State, and the Buffs can looks to home games against Stanford and Arizona to get in the mix for six victories and a bowl. Lose any of those, and it’ll be tough.

Coach Prime faces the pain: Deion Sanders’ 2023 Colorado football schedule is absolutely brutal

Colorado will be fun to watch with Deion Sanders as the head coach. However, the schedule is tough. Welcome to the big leagues, Coach Prime.

The Colorado Buffaloes went 1-11 last year and fired Karl Dorrell. However, the hire of Deion Sanders has brought this program into a different world of possibility and potential.

The Buffs have landed a ton of transfer portal players and high-ranked recruits, and they will be a must-watch for a lot of games.

The schedule is brutal for Colorado, and Jack Carlough of Buffaloes Wire gave a look at the schedule after it was released on Wednesday.

It includes an opener against TCU and a pair of brutal back-to-back Pac-12 games with Oregon and USC.

Here’s the slate for Coach Prime’s first year in the FBS.

Take a look at Colorado’s complete 2022 schedule

Year three of the Karl Dorrell era features a fun but challenging schedule for the 2022 Colorado Buffaloes football team. The new-look Buffs open up against TCU before having to navigate a pair of non-conference road matchups. After that, the Buffs will play nine Pac-12 games in hopes of reaching the conference championship game on Dec. 2.

Colorado Football Schedule What To Know: Who do the Buffaloes miss from the Pac-12 North Division?

The Buffaloes don’t get Stanford or Washington State. That might not be a bad deal if the Cardinal ramps things back up after a rough run, but that’s still not quite as nice as it would’ve been to miss Oregon or even Washington.

Going to Washington and Oregon State are going to be tough, but Oregon has to come to Boulder in early November and Cal makes the trip in mid-October.

Colorado Football Schedule What To Know: Where are the sure wins?

Give Colorado credit for not facing a cupcake team to tune up, but there isn’t a sure-thing win on the slate considering it has to travel to Arizona.

TCU is in a rebuilding mode and it’s a home game, but that’s tough. Going to Air Force is nasty, and heaven help us all if the trip to Minnesota is anything like the steamrolling of last year’s Golden Gopher win.

Cal? That might be the one home game Colorado is the favorite, but that’s not a given.

Colorado Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?

It would’ve been really, really nice to have a few easy games to start the season to give the team a little time and sure-thing confidence, but …

There’s a flip side. Beat TCU, beat Air Force, and get wins over decent teams that that could be the kickstart the program needs. Even so, November is a bear with the Oregon game followed up with trips to USC and Washington before hosting Utah.

2021 Colorado Buffaloes football schedule

The Colorado Buffaloes must navigate a challenging 12-game schedule to reach another bowl game.

The boys of Boulder are back in action this fall with a hearty 12-game schedule. A year after playing in front of a nearly empty Folsom Field, head coach Karl Dorrell’s Colorado Buffaloes will welcome back fans to experience one of the best atmospheres in college football. In-state rival Northern Colorado will open things up before Texas A&M and Minnesota round out a challenging non-conference slate.

CU’s first road game will be against its first Pac-12 opponent in Arizona Stae on Sept. 25. Following a difficult desert matchup, the Buffs’ journey doesn’t get any easier with USC coming to town on Oct. 2. We’ll see the Buffs battle the Ducks in Eugene and the Beavers come knocking for homecoming on Nov. 6. And for the third consecutive season, Colorado will face Utah to end the regular season.

Week Date Opponent Time (MT)
1 Sept. 3 Northern Colorado 7 p.m.
2 Sept. 11 Texas A&M 1:30 p.m.
3 Sept. 18 Minnesota 11 a.m.

Colorado Football Schedule Analysis: The Buffs need that tune-up against Northern Colorado with the power showdowns against Texas A&M and Minnesota to follow.

There’s no time to take a breath early on in the Pac-12 run, starting at Arizona State and following it up with USC to close out a four-game run of games that might break the Buffs’ back.

There’s no real break interdivisional play with Oregon and Washington on the slate, and there’s a sneaky-nasty trip to Cal in the mix, too. Making matters worse is a run of three road games in four weeks in the second half of the season, and closing out against Washington and at Utah is final kick in the gut.
