For a team that went 4-8 in 2023, the Colorado Buffaloes sure know how to grab headlines.
Bets have surged on Colorado to win the College Football Playoff recently, with 5.1 percent of all bets placed on the CFP national champion landing on the Buffs — the fourth-most behind legitimate favorites Ohio State, Georgia and Texas.
According to BetMGM, Colorado opened at 200-to-1 odds to win it all, which has since gone down to 125-to-1.
From Fox Sports: “Much like in 2023, there has been significant roster turnover for Colorado, as it currently has 42 new transfer commits. Colorado put heavy emphasis on rebuilding its offensive line, which struggled for most of last season. Its core, however, will remain the same, with projected top-five pick Shedeur Sanders under center once again. A season ago, the star quarterback had a 69.3% completion percentage while throwing for 3,230 yards. He threw for 27 TDs and only three interceptions.”
Colorado opens the season on Thursday, Aug. 29 at home against FCS North Dakota State.
