BYU vs. Colorado: Prediction

There are so many storylines coming into this game, and without a doubt, it’s the most anticipated non-CFP bowl game of the 2024 season. Colorado’s magical season nearly landed them in the Big 12 Championship, and BYU’s equally surprising run to a 9-0 start on the season almost got them there, too. However, neither the Buffs or the Cougs made it to Arlington, but now get a chance to face off in the Alamodome. It will be the final game for both Shedeur Sanders and Heisman trophy winner Travis Hunter, as well as a host of other talented players on both sides. This should be one of the most entertaining games of the year, and thanks to the Pac-12 ties to this game, we will end up getting to see what might’ve been the most exciting regular season matchup in the Big 12 if it had come to pass. Colorado’s got more talent, and with their best players set to play, I think the Buffs will go out with a bang.
