Deion Sanders' third season at Colorado has seen the Buffaloes take a considerable step back. After going 4-8 in his first season at the helm, Colorado went 9-4 in 2024 with two-way star Travis Hunter winning the Heisman Trophy, helping build some real excitement about the direction of the program in Boulder.

Colorado Buffaloes athletic director Rick George announced his decision to step down at the end of the academic year.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are 3–7 this season with two games remaining. It wasn’t long ago that the Buffaloes finished 9–4 and had Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. They also had the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner in Shedeur Sanders.

Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders blamed some of the bad offseason player evaluations for the season they are having.
