National outlet The Sporting News released its first 2024-25 college football bowl game projections and the Colorado Buffaloes landed a spot in one of the five New Year’s Eve games.
In the early forecast, head coach Deion Sanders’ Buffs are matched up against the ACC’s North Carolina State Wolfpack in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, one of the oldest annual events in college football. Last year, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish beat the Oregon State Beavers, 40-8, in the 90th Sun Bowl.
Surprisingly, Colorado has never traveled to El Paso, Texas for the Sun Bowl. NC State has done so once, beating Arizona State in 2017.
While Coach Prime would like to see Colorado sneak into the new 12-team College Football Playoff, reaching the Sun Bowl would mark a great step forward for the Buffs. Typically, the Sun Bowl hosts teams with seven or eight regular season wins.
