Week 1 has begun and Thursday night is the first preview with 21 college football games.

That includes our first look at Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes. Coach Prime’s team got off to a hot start last season, capturing the nation’s attention before quickly coming back down to earth. Will this year be any different for the Buffs after bolstering their roster via the transfer portal? They open at home against FCS stalwarts North Dakota State.
