The countdown to the 2025 college football season is ticking faster than ever, and all eyes are on the Colorado Buffaloes as projections start rolling in. A fresh model by analytics ace Parker Fleming predicts the Buffs will snag about 6.1 wins this upcoming year—a figure that gels pretty snugly with national forecasts like ESPN’s FPI and our own Buffaloes Wire estimates. But here’s the kicker: this projected win total slots Colorado at 11th place in the notoriously competitive Big 12. With a schedule peppered with matchups against seven of the ten teams projected to finish ahead of them, the path forward is anything but a breeze. As the Buffs prep to kickoff their campaign at home against Georgia Tech on August 29, it’s clear this season will be a grind, testing their mettle in every game.

ESPN’s FPI projected the Buffs to win 6.5, aligning closely with Fleming’s model. Our Buffaloes Wire record prediction had Colorado going 6-6, with wins over Georgia Tech, Delaware, Houston, Wyoming, Iowa State and Arizona, and losses to BYU, TCU, Utah, West Virginia, Arizona State, and Kansas State.The Buffaloes’ win mark sits at No. 11 in the Big 12 behind Arizona State (8.5), Kansas State (8.3), Utah (7.7), Baylor (7.5), Iowa State (7.4), Kansas (6.9), BYU (6.9), Cincinnati (6.6), Houston (6.6) and TCU (6.3). Colorado faces seven of those teams listed above, showing the difficulty of their 2025 schedule.
Colorado appears to have six solid win opportunities on their schedule, making bowl eligibility seem like the floor for 2025. However, the abundance of top-flight opponents makes winning 7-9 games a challenging task.Colorado‘s projected win total, according to the model, is 6.1, which aligns with most predictions, as well as our own.
