Colorado was one of the most polarizing college football teams in the country in 2023.
Early betting action shows the Buffs might be more of the same in 2024 as they return to the Big 12 Conference after 13 years in the Pac-12 Conference.
Bets on who will win the College Football Playoff National Championship spiked for Colorado recently and according to BetMGM, 4.5 percent of all bets landed on Colorado, according to Fox Sports. That trails only Georgia, Ohio State and Texas — three teams who have routinely showed up in the Top 10 in preseason polls.
Colorado started out at +20000 odds to win it all but those odds have since dropped to +12500. Utah, another Pac-12 addition to the Big 12, has the best odds in the Big 12 to win the CFP National Championship at +6000.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is in his second season as Colorado’s coach after going 4-8 in 2023 — Colorado started the season 3-0 after going 1-11 in 2022.
The Buffaloes are led by two of the nation’s most exciting players in Sanders’ son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, a consensus All-American in 2023.
