Kevin Borba serves up a bold, week-by-week record prediction for the Buffs’ 2026 campaign, kicking off with an upset call at Georgia Tech and projecting a surging 4-0 start before midseason turbulence sets in. Defensive and offensive starters are mapped out in detail, with surprise names emerging at running back and corner, and breakout candidates spotlighted across the lineup.
Depth concerns on the defensive line, question marks around run blocking, and high expectations for new faces set the stage for a make-or-break season. Can Deion’s squad push beyond respectability, avoid a late-season slide, and silence the skeptics in a loaded Big 12? Kevin Borba lays out what has to happen for the Buffs to hit an optimistic 7-5 mark and ignite hope in Boulder.
Will this overhauled Colorado roster turn promise into a statement year, or is a rollercoaster ride inevitable? Let the season-long debate begin.
