Is Colorado playing today? The Buffaloes' college football schedule for Week 6

From the moment the wheels of Deion Sanders' jet touched down in suburban Denver in December 2022, Colorado was one of the most followed teams in all of college football.

A program that had languished in national insignificance is now attracting sustained interest. When a school hires one of the most talented and charismatic athletes in the history of American sports to lead its football team, it's a happy side effect.

After a disappointing 4-8 record in 2023, the Buffs are 4-1 with two wins in just their third bowl appearance since 2008. They boast two of the sport's brightest stars in Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, both of whom are widely considered to be top-10 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The question now for Sanders and Colorado is whether they can avoid what happened to them last season, when the Buffs got off to a surprising 3-0 start and a national ranking that faded late and eight of their Lost last nine games.

Whether history repeats itself is a question that will be answered over the next two months as Colorado completes its first season back in the Big 12.

Here's a look at what Colorado expects for the remainder of the 2024 season, including next games:

Colorado will not play in Week 6 of the college football season. The Buffaloes will instead enjoy their first of two byes.

While Sanders and the Buffs certainly won't be contending with the others, this comes at a time when they've been hot, winning three straight games after a huge loss to Nebraska. They capped that run last Saturday with perhaps their most impressive victory yet, a 48-21 victory at UCF.

Colorado's game plan becomes much more difficult after the break. It hosts No. 20 Kansas State on Oct. 12 before facing a 3-1 Arizona team the following week that was ranked in the top 25 of the US LBM Coaches Poll at the start of the season.

Although other factors, such as improved defense, will determine their success, the Buffs will likely go as far as their top stars will take them. Hunter is a two-way phenom and a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy with a team-high 46 catches for 561 yards and six touchdowns on offense and two interceptions on defense. Shedeur Sanders, the youngest of Deion Sanders' two sons on the team, has thrown for 1,630 yards, 14 touchdowns and just three interceptions while completing 70.1% of his passes.
