ESPN predicts the Pac-12’s order of finish for 2023
On Sept. 2, the Deion Sanders era of Colorado football will officially begin when the Buffs travel to take on the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth. The hiring of Sanders has reinvigorated the fan base in Boulder and despite the 1-11 record in 2022, the optimism can be felt.
This will be Colorado’s final season in the Pac-12, and honestly, this will be one of the more polarizing years for the conference due to the flooding of teams joining other conferences in 2024.
Even with the optimism that Colorado fans share entering 2023, ESPN believes that they should temper those expectations heading into the season.
