Colorado finished the season with a 9-4 record and a 7-2 mark in Big 12 play. They were listed as the No. 4 team in the Big 12 standings, just two years after the program went 1-11.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are looking to steal a four-star commit from the Tennessee Vols. 2026 four-star tight end Carson Sneed, a Vols commit since early August, tweeted on Thursday that he received an offer from Colorado.
