This September, the college football world was Colorado's oyster.
Led by coach Deion Sanders, the Buffaloes were must-see TV. In a three-week span, they upset defending Fiesta Bowl champion TCU, blew out Nebraska, and won a double-overtime thriller against rival Colorado State. Even their losses—to No. 10 Oregon and No. 8 USC—generated excitement and interest.
October was a different story. Colorado has gone 1–3 since the calendar turned, including a blown 29-point lead against Stanford and listless performances against UCLA and Oregon State. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders has remained dynamic, but his play hasn't translated to wins.
