College football is back. And Colorado vs. North Dakota State will get us started with their first ever matchup.
The Buffaloes became one of the most talked about programs in 2023 with Deion Sanders's first season at the helm. The hype didn't live up, as they finished the season 4-8 after winning their first three games. But the new season also means a new conference as Colorado joins the Big 12 now. It'll face two of its former Pac-12 opponents this season as it tries to live up to the Sanders standard in 2024.
First up, the Buffaloes will take on the North Dakota State Bison. They may be an FCS team, but they're the best there is. Literally. They've won nine national championships in the past 12 seasons, establishing them as the most dominant FCS program to exist. NDSU last won in a title 2021, falling in the semifinals last season.
As a new era of college football begins, NDSU and Colorado are in for a dogfight as they try to start their seasons on the right foot.
It all begins at Folsom Field in Boulder on August 29.
