Is Colorado playing today? The Buffaloes' college football schedule for Week 10

Even for a program located in a part of the country that gets 300 days of sunshine a year, the last few weeks have been particularly rosy for the Colorado football program.

In their second season under coach Deion Sanders, the Buffaloes have been one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2024 college football season.

After a disastrous 1-11 season in 2022 and after limping to a 4-8 record in Sanders' debut at the school in 2023, Colorado is 6-2 and ranked in the AP Top 25 after defeating Cincinnati last Saturday in Folsom with 34:23 defeated Feld in Boulder. The win was the Buffs' fifth in their last six games following a 28-10 loss to rival Nebraska in Week 2, but more notably, it made them bowl eligible for a full season for the first time since 2016 .

While Colorado still has some glaring holes, particularly on the offensive line, it was one of the most entertaining teams in college football in 2024 — and unlike last season, that's not just due to the fame of its head coach.

Travis Hunter is the best all-around player in the game and excels on both offense and defense for the Buffs. Shedeur Sanders has become one of the best quarterbacks in the country with 2,591 yards and 21 touchdowns. The team's defense has also improved significantly, with its scoring average dropping from 34.8 points allowed per game last season to 22 in eight games this season.

What's next for the Buffs after securing a spot in a bowl game? Here's what you need to know about Colorado and its schedule for Week 10 of the 2024 college football season:

Is Colorado playing today?

After its win against Cincinnati, Colorado will be inactive for Week 10 of the season. It's the Buffs' second and final bye week of the season.

Colorado will return to action with a game on November 9th at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are the only remaining team on the Buffs' regular-season schedule that currently has a winning record – and even then, they're on a two-game losing streak after a 5-1 start to the season.

At 4-1 in conference play, Colorado is tied with Kansas State for third place in the Big 12 standings, although the Wildcats have a tiebreaker above with their 31-28 win over the Buffaloes on Oct. 12 in Boulder.

Should Colorado win — which is at least a possibility given the quality of the rest of the schedule — it could potentially clinch a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game. The winner of this contest will automatically receive a spot in the College Football Playoff.
