Colorado football 2025 game predictions per ESPN’s FPI

ESPN’s FPI odds are not forecasting Colorado to have another standout season like the Buffs had in 2024 when they won nine games. If we dig deeper, ESPN’s metrics suggest Colorado could struggle on a week-in, week-out basis during the 2025 season.

Below is a look at each game on Colorado’s 2025 schedule with a closer look at ESPN’s FPI matchup predictor for each matchup. The Buffs are a heavy favorite in only two games, with most matchups closer to a coin flip in the hotly contested Big 12 Conference. The most challenging game appears to be the regular season finale against Kansas State, one of the conference’s best teams. Opening the season against Georgia Tech is no picnic either.

It is a demanding back-end schedule for the Buffs, but even if the metrics are predicting a loss, the percentages still give Colorado a chance in every game.

Here is how the ESPN FPI matchup predictions look for Colorado’s entire 2025 season, as well as a running snapshot of Colorado’s projected record based on these percentages.
