Week 1 of the college football season is over and every team finally has some film to look at from this season. Some teams will be happier with their film than others.
One team that won’t be very happy with the film of their Week 1 game is the Colorado Buffaloes. Georgia Tech came to Boulder and beat the Buffaloes, 27-20; Colorado head coach Deion Sanders left two timeouts on the board as the Buffaloes had to settle for a 50-yard desperation throw as time expired.
On paper, the Buffaloes have a much easier opponent in Week 2. Two other Colorado Division I schools will face each other this week.
Here’s a look at what matchups Colorado Division I college football teams have this weekend:
