Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes will try to bounce back from their first loss of the season when they host the No. 8 USC Trojans in a Pac-12 showdown on Saturday at Folsom Field in Boulder, Co. After wins over TCU, Nebraska and Colorado State to start the season, the Buffaloes were the talk of college football. However, Colorado (3-1, 0-1 in Pac-12) was blown out by Oregon last week, 42-6, in a game the Buffaloes trailed 35-0 at the half. Meanwhile, the Trojans (4-0, 2-0) have cruised in their four games this season, winning by an average of 35.0 points per game. Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter remains out with a lacerated liver.  Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. The Trojans are 21.5-point favorites in the latest USC vs. Colorado odds via SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 73.5. Before making any Colorado vs. USC picks, you need to see the college football predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven computer model.
TV ratings alone have seen a spike in an audience that represents less than five percent of the state's population.
Colorado's first three games of the season rated 77 percent higher among Black viewers, who made up 23 percent of the audience, according to ESPN. Its research notes Black viewers made up 15 percent of non-Colorado games.
Game four ended up being an easy win for Oregon, who was also fueled by the hype.
"They're fighting for clicks, we're fighting for wins," said head coach Dan Lanning during a pregame speech broadcasted during the September 23 game. "There's a difference, right? There's a difference. This game isn't gonna be played in Hollywood, it's gonna be played on the grass."
USC versus Colorado. Fox Big Noon Saturday is in Boulder for the second time this season, the third time for any Colorado game in the month of September. Colorado’s September 2 game at TCU was a Big Noon game. Then Big Noon Saturday went to Boulder on September 9 versus Nebraska. Now the Big Noon franchise is back in Boulder for the USC Trojans on the last day of September. Everyone wants a piece of Coach Prime and the Colorado media circus.
USC hasn’t played a game earlier than 3:30 p.m. Pacific time this season. That was the Nevada game on September 2. Now the Trojans — after playing late-night games in Weeks 2 (Stanford) and Week 4 (Arizona State) — play a 9 a.m. Pacific time game in Boulder. It will be fascinating to see if the body-clock component of this game throws USC off balance, or if the Trojans show they’re ready for breakfast in Boulder with the Buffaloes. Be sure to follow Buffaloes Wire for full coverage of this game.
