The 2023 college football season couldn't have started any better for Deion Sanders and company through the first three games of the year - until Oregon. Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes were blown out by a final score of 42-6 in what would be their first of eight losses in nine games to end the season. He called it a “good old-fashioned butt-kicking” and said, “We are all accountable for this.
Let's start with me." He then issued a warning to everyone in college football. Coach Prime warned College Football last year 👀 “You better get me right now, This the worst we going to be” pic.

You better get me right now.” Colorado certainly got worse. The Buffaloes finished the season losing eight of their last nine games before ending with a 4-8 record - a three-game improvement from a 1-11 season in 2022.
Stephen Garcia/Avalanche-Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Fast forward a year later and Deion's prediction is coming true. The Buffaloes are one of the best teams in college football this season, sitting at No. 16 in the country thanks to the stellar play of quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter.
Colorado sits at 8-2 on the season after winning four straight games following a loss to then-No. 18 Kansas State. The Buffaloes are right in the mix for the Big 12 title game and the College Football Playoff.
Deion and company close the season against Kansas and Oklahoma State - both unranked programs. Should Colorado win, it will be just a conference title game away from the College Football Playoff. Related: Deion Sanders Sends Clear Message Amid Cowboys Rumors.
