With two dynamic stars playing their final college game, the 20th-ranked Buffaloes were blown out 36-14 by No. 17 BYU in the Alamo Bowl. Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner and two-way sensation, caught four passes for a game-high 106 yards and a touchdown. Shedeur Sanders, the son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, was 16-of-23 passing for 208 yards with two TDs and two interceptions.

Kevin Davis had a career-high 148 yards rushing and two touchdowns on just nine carries and Jordan Brunson also ran for two TDs for Miami (Ohio). The Rams were making their first bowl appearance since 2017.

It seems fitting that homecoming weekend in Boulder on Saturday coincides with the Buffaloes making their return to Big 12 play.

There were high hopes for Colorado State fans as Colorado came to Fort Collins for the Rocky Mountain Showdown on Saturday. But it was Colorado who prevailed, 28-9. Rams fans will have to wait until 2029 for revenge.

The Pac-12 is adding Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State, starting in 2026, to join Oregon State and Washington State in a rebuilt Conference of Champions.

Colorado and Nebraska close out their four-game home-and-home nonconference series on Saturday night in Lincoln. Colorado's Deion Sanders and Nebraska's Matt Rhule both are in their second seasons and both are tasked with bringing their programs back to prominence. Both teams are 1-0 this season.
