Summary
- Colorado faces Georgia Tech in the 2026 season opener.
- The Buffaloes are 6.5-point underdogs against the Yellow Jackets.
- Both teams feature significant roster turnover via the transfer portal.
The 2026 college football season kicks off with Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes visiting Georgia Tech. Colorado enters the year with low expectations following a 3-9 campaign in 2025 and faces a challenging 6.5-point spread against the Yellow Jackets. Coach Prime has brought in numerous new faces through the transfer portal, aiming to improve chemistry and performance across the squad.
On the other side, Georgia Tech also sees significant changes. While their previous season was solid, they lose key quarterback Haynes King and both offensive and defensive coordinators. The Yellow Jackets' returning production ranks 79th, indicating a substantial rebuilding phase despite Head Coach Brent Key's past successes. This matchup promises to be a complex early-season test for both programs.
