Colorado couldn’t have gotten off to a better start, as the Buffaloes are now 2-0 on the season after a 36-14 victory over Nebraska on Saturday.

However, although Colorado has to play one more game before getting into its Pac-12 schedule, fans are excited about how the Buffaloes will begin conference play.

After Colorado plays host to Colorado State next week, the Buffaloes play at No. 13 Oregon in Week 4. Then Colorado will face visiting No. 6 USC in Week 5.

Not only will Colorado play the two of the best teams in the Pac-12, but Shedeur Sanders also will face off against Bo Nix and Caleb Williams, both of whom are Heisman Trophy candidates.

For Colorado to be a top-10 team this year, the Buffaloes will have to prove their mettle against the Pac-12’s best. However, some fans and analysts believe that, while Colorado’s hot start is impressive, it will not last when they get into the teeth of the conference schedule. 

Colorado’s Pac-12 schedule eases up after those first two weeks, but the Buffaloes also must play No. 16 Oregon State and No. 12 Utah later in the year. It’s notable that No. 9 Washington and quarterback Michael Penix Jr., another Heisman candidate, aren’t on Colorado’s schedule this year.
