To put it shortly, no. However, they are a very good college football team and anything can happen. Here’s why the Buffaloes will not make the college football playoff:
They have one of the hardest schedules in college football including Oregon, USC, Oregon State, UCLA, Washington State, and Utah. These are all currently top 25 teams in the country including 5th ranked USC, 12th ranked Utah, and 13th ranked Oregon. With only four teams making the college football playoff, it is very difficult to get in with one loss, but it can be done and usually happens with one out of the four teams per year. Making the college football playoff with two losses is unheard of and has never been done in the four team college football playoff era. I have my doubts about Colorado being able to beat Oregon, Utah, and especially USC.
Colorado opened the season by stunning everyone and beating TCU 45-42 who was a top 25 team to start the year but dropped after the loss. It was a great win for Colorado nonetheless, but TCU is just not that good and Colorado’s defense gave up 42 points to them. That is the real kicker, the Buffalo’s defense. Offensively, they have weapons including Deion Sander’s son, Sheduer Sanders, a four star running back out of high school, Dylan Edwards, and a five star out of high school and receiver and corner, Travis Hunter. Defensively, Travis Hunter is a very good defensive back but personally, no one else jumps out to me. After allowing 42 points in week one, Colorado’s defense responded in week 2 by holding Nebraska to only 14 points. However, Nebraska’s offensive coordinator is Marcus Satterfield who was the Offensive coordinator at South Carolina last year but was fired for doing an awful job. The only reason the Buffaloes held Nebraska to 14 points is because Nebraska’s offense, along with their offensive coordinator, is terrible.
The Colorado Buffaloes will not make the college football playoff and are not a legit team due to their mediocre defense.
