At the bottom with the worst odds to win the Big 12 are the Oklahoma State Cowboys at +7000. 

The loss against Georgia Tech of the ACC doesn’t hurt the Buffaloes in the official Big 12 standings, with their conference record still at 0-0. However, it does signal that this Buffaloes team has their work cut out for them if they want to compete for a conference title. 

In 2024, the Buffaloes were right in the thick of the Big 12 title race. Colorado went 7-2 in conference play, which tied them for first place with the Arizona State Sun Devils, Iowa State Cyclones, and BYU Cougars. 

Due to the Big 12 tie breaking scenarios, the Buffaloes ended up outside with top two, which would have earned them a spot in the Big 12 Championship game. The Big 12 Championship ended up being between Arizona State and Iowa State, with the Sun Devils winning and clinching a spot in the College Football Playoff. 

Colorado ended up being invited to the Alamo Bowl, where they lost to BYU. The Buffaloes finished with a record of 9-4. 

Colorado's Playoff, National Title Odds
