Colorado Buffaloes Crack Impressive TV Ratings Ranking Amid Losing Streak

Despite a third straight loss and a 2-3 record, the Colorado Buffaloes remained one of college football’s most-watched teams this weekend. The primetime FOX broadcast of their homecoming game against Texas Tech drew an average of 2.51 million viewers, ranking 10th among Week 5 matchups—just behind Washington and USC on NBC, which averaged 2.56 million.

The strong ratings highlight the Buffaloes’ continued national visibility, even amid a losing streak, though the audience was smaller than their season opener, a Thursday night win at Georgia Tech that drew 3.7 million viewers on ESPN. Coach Deion Sanders’ team has seen a broader decline in viewership over the past two seasons, averaging around 2 million in 2025 and 4 million in 2024, compared to 6 million in 2023.

While the numbers reflect overall interest in the matchup—including Texas Tech’s unbeaten record entering the game—they also underscore Colorado’s ability to draw attention despite recent struggles on the field.
