UH-OH: College Football Expert Says Colorado Has HARDEST Schedule in Big 12

Respect or gauntlet? Colorado Buffaloes command national attention as Brett McMurphy and national analysts confirm the Buffs will navigate college football’s hardest schedule this season. With 11 Power Four opponents, road trips to Georgia Tech, Northwestern, and Baylor, and home games against Big 12 heavyweights Texas Tech and Utah, Colorado is set for a trial by fire. Can Deion Sanders and his squad survive the early snowball effect—or will momentum and rapid adaptation decide their season’s fate? Kevin Borba breaks down why this schedule demands immediate growth from the Buffs’ new quarterback and a seamless defensive scheme transition. From the high-wire start to must-win stretches, every matchup will test Colorado’s depth, resilience, and readiness to seize momentum. As the Locked On Podcast Network celebrates 10 years, Kevin Borba unveils his definitive ranking of the Coach Prime era’s top 10 Buffs—including surprises, snubs, and controversial calls on Shadour Sanders, Travis Hunter, and more. Which transfers and veterans elevated the program? Who’s destined for legend status, and who barely missed the cut? Will a brutal schedule forge diamonds in Boulder, or prove too much, too soon?
