Sitting at 0-2 with fans starting to already get restless and have flashbacks of that 1-11 season in 2022, Deion Sanders and Co. will finally secure a win over in-state rival Colorado State in Boulder. This game shouldn’t be much of a battle, but I could see it being closer than expected.

Colorado is going to secure its first win of the Prime era and finally gain some confidence which will be huge for this young roster.

Prediction: Win (1-2)

How does a now-confident Colorado team fare on the road in Eugene? Not great. Oregon is a tough team to beat and Autzen is one of the most hostile environments not just in the Pac-12 but in all of college football.

Although the Buffaloes found some confidence after a win over Colorado State, Bo Nix will put them right back in their place.

They’ll have to find a way to bounce back and get out of this 1-3 hole. Still, the Buffaloes will be just 0-1 in conference play so it’s not the end of the world.

Prediction: Loss (1-3, 0-1 Pac-12)
