Prediction, Preview, and Betting Lines for Colorado vs. Oklahoma State: Deion Sanders' Buffs in the Big 12 Title Race

For the Buffaloes to win, and for everything else to work out, nothing else needs to happen. The first game for Deion Sanders’ team is against Oklahoma State, which is playing its last game of the season.

Colorado vs Oklahoma State: Who Will Win?

Oklahoma State will make this interesting.

There’s still talent here, there’s still firepower, and everyone is still pressing, but the defense just can’t stop anyone.
