Our friends at Buffaloes Wire are heading to the Big 12 next year. When they get there, whom will they want to play the most in their new (old) conference?
Buffaloes Wire wrote the following:
“The Big 12 that Colorado will be rejoining in 2024 is a vastly different conference than the one Buffs fans remember from 13 years ago. Missouri and Texas A&M are now in the SEC, and Texas and Oklahoma are set to follow after this year.”
Buffs Wire added that the old Big 12 rivalry with Kansas State “picked up some steam in the late 1990s and early 2000s with several close games coming between the two teams. Although Colorado hasn’t faced its old conference rival since 2010, I’m confident that this matchup will pick up right where it left off.
“Our Tony Cosolo included Kansas State in his list of Colorado’s five best football rivalries.”
We asked Colorado and Oregon experts, plus our own staff at Trojans Wire, the following question:
“Will Colorado-Utah become the biggest game of every Big 12 season, with everyone else fighting for third or fourth place?”
Let’s give you the answers from our panel:
