Preview
The Coach Prime Era enters year three in Boulder, and whatever happens this season there is no doubt that Deion Sanders has changed the landscape for the Colorado football program. It took just two seasons to go from 1-11 to 9-4.
The Buffaloes open the season as a home underdog versus Georgia Tech, and this is a role that Deion has thrived in. Brent Key is also entering his third season as head coach of the Yellowjackets, but unlike Deion he brings back almost all of his starters including his quarterback and leading rusher.

Georgia Tech
- 7-6 Overall in 2024
- 5-3 in the ACC in 2024
- 6-6-1 ATS in 2024
Last season began in Ireland, with an upset win over Florida State. The Yellow Jackets won seven of 10 regular season games when starting quarterback Haynes King played. One of those losses came in eight overtimes at Georgia.
King threw for 2,114 yards, 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions last season. He also ran for 587 yards and 11 touchdowns on 125 carries. He returns, and he will be joined by leading rusher Jamal Haynes who ran for 944 yards and nine touchdowns.
Georgia Tech ranks 26th nationally with 64% returning production from last year
Colorado
- 9-4 Overall in 2024
- 7-2 in the BIG12 in 2024
- 9-4 ATS in 2024
The Buffaloes have to replace the reigning Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who was a star on both sides of the ball, and the leading passer in the BIG12 last season. Making things even more complicated, Coach prime missed time due to health issues and it remains uncertain how serious this might be.
They brought in quarterback Kaidon Salter from Liberty, and he threw for 1,886 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions last season. He threw for 2,876 yards, 32 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2023. He might find the BIG12 to be a tougher challenge than the Conference USA.
The Buffaloes rank 89th nationally with 50 percent returning production from last year.
Relevant Trends

PREDICTION: COL 17 – GT 37
The Buffaloes have too many questions to answer, and with the health of Coach Prime up in the air things could go sideways in Boulder this season. Georgia Tech is primed to have a breakout season, and they should run all over this Colorado defense in Week 1.

The Clemson Tigers host LSU in Week 1, and both these teams are expected to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Clemson lost 34-3 to Georgia in Week 1 last year, while LSU was upset by USC in a 27-20 loss in Las Vegas in their 2024…

Nico Iamaleava's dispute with Tennessee over money resulted in him leaving the team to accept far less money at UCLA. When you consider the higher taxes in California, you really have to question the decision making of the Bruins new quarterback.

The Bears will be a home underdog versus Auburn in Week 1, despite the fact that the Tigers are coming off a 5-7 season. A few costly turnovers and bad bounces were likely the difference between 5-7 and a winning record and a bowl game for Auburn last year.

The last time Alabama played Florida State it was 2017, and Jalen Hurts was the quarterback for the Crimson Tide. The game was in Atlanta, and it wasn't particularly close. The Seminoles were shutout in the second half in a 24-7 loss.

Bailey Zappe threw for almost 6,000 yards and a record 62 touchdowns during that championship run. Western Kentucky will hope that the next great Hilltoppers quarterback is Maverick McIvor who transfered from Albien Christian.

The Jayhawks were projected to be a contender in the BIG12 last year, but they lost five of their first six games and finished with a losing record. They come into 2025 with high expectations once again, and they host Fresno State in their season opener.

Colorado came into the 2024 season with a season win total of 5. It's fair to say that Deion Sanders exceeded all expectations with this team in just his second year in Boulder. It didn't start out that well with poor offensive line play a lingering issue from the previous…
