Oregon State was one of the most surprising programs in the country last season and this could be one of those winnable home games against good teams that could propel the Buffaloes to the postseason.

If this game was in Corvallis, I would pick the Beavers to win with relative ease, but I think Boulder is going to be rocking here to begin November with a bowl game still in play. Colorado is going to pick up a huge win and climb one step closer to a bowl just one year after going 1-11.

Prediction: Win (5-4, 3-3)

This will be the game that will win Colorado fans over for good in regard to Deion Sanders. He will lead the Buffaloes to a win which will give them six on the year with still two more remaining. Yes, Colorado will go bowling one year after 1-11. Insane turnaround and Sanders will prove that he’s worth the money.

Arizona is not in a great spot although it was more competitive in 2022 but I think Colorado will just have the momentum and home-field advantage on its side.

Prediction: Win (6-4, 4-3)
