2024 Colorado Buffaloes Football Schedule Break Down Game by Game, Coach Prime will Win Big! This will be a special year for the Colorado Buffaloes Football 2024 Team. This season the Buffs will play nine of 15 conference opponents, which can be essentially broken into four categories; three games against former Big Eight foes (Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State), two more against former Big 12 foes (Baylor, Texas Tech), two current Pac-12 teams joining the Buffs in the new Big 12 (Arizona, Utah) and two against first-time conference opponents (Central Florida, Cincinnati). Times and television for the first three weeks plus any Friday games will be determined in late May or early June. The non-conference schedule has been set for several years and includes the season opener on August 31 against North Dakota State followed by road games against CU's two biggest rivals Nebraska (September 7) and Colorado State (September 14).
