Colorado Buffaloes Odds: National Championship, Playoffs, and More
Thanks to Colorado's loss to an unranked Kansas team with just two weeks left in the season, the Buff's postseason hopes came to a screeching halt. There are still several Colorado football odds to track, most notably the Heisman Trophy award winner. All of the odds below have been pulled from bet365 Colorado.

I always suggest checking multiple Colorado betting apps prior to placing any wager, but especially futures markets like the ones above. Futures odds tend to vary much more widely between betting sites, so it's worth digging around to find the best price.
Colorado Buffaloes Playoff Chances
The Buffaloes are no longer in playoff contention after losing to Kansas. This loss sealed their fate in terms of being able to compete for a Big 12 title, which left them with no path to the College Football Playoffs.
Can Colorado make the College Football Playoff?
No, Colorado can no longer make the College Football Playoff. The loss to Kansas in Week 13 essentially sealed Colorado's fate.
Colorado Football Odds to Win Big 12
Colorado cannot win the Big 12 as the championship game will be played between Iowa State and Arizona State. The 2024 season ended with a four-way tie for first, but Colorado was eliminated via record against common opponents.
Colorado National Championship Odds
Colorado no longer has National Championship odds available after being knocked out of playoff contention. It was a wild ride for their odds, but this tweet from BetMGM's John Ewing shows the Buffs had backers heading into the season:
Colorado Football Heisman Contenders
The Buffs have two players with Heisman Trophy odds on the majority of legal betting sites: quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the multi-faceted Travis Hunter. Shedeur Sanders' Heisman odds started out slightly shorter than Hunter's but have since dropped.
Travis Hunters' Heisman odds are now at a point where he's considered a lock to win the award. With odds of -10000, this comes out to an implied probability of 99.0%.
CU Football Schedule
Here is the full 12-game regular season Colorado football schedule for this season. Looking at the Week 12 matchup against Utah, the betting lines have completely flipped in Colorado's favor. When early odds were released for this game, Utah was listed as an 8-point favorite. As things stand today, the Buffs are 11.5-point favorites. The Utes had climbed as high as No. 10 in the AP Top 25, but have been unranked since Week 7.

While the exact game is not yet known, we've taken a crack at some hypothetical Colorado bowl game odds. This will be just the third time in the last 10 years the Buffs have been bowl eligible.
