There are some indicators that Colorado’s move to the Big 12 could mean that the Buffs and Nebraska football could face off more in the future.
Nothing is set in stone and any extension of the rivalry would have to be sought after by both schools. Still, one college football analyst pointed out that the Buffaloes have quite a few non-conference games on their future schedules involving Big 12 teams. Not that CU is going to be a member of that conference, they need to find new opponents to take those slots.
Buffzone beat writer Brian Powell pointed out that Colorado had the Houton Cougars on top for 2025 and 2026, the Kansas Jayhawks in 2027 and 2028 and the Oklahoma State Cowboys scheduled for 2036 and 2037.
