Deion Sanders makes his debut as coach for Colorado when the Buffaloes open at 17th-ranked TCU, last season's national runner-up.
The Buffs next year return to the Big 12 after their 13th and final season in the Pac-12.
TCU plays for the first time since its 65-7 loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff national championship game last January.
The Horned Frogs went 13-2 in Sonny Dykes’ first season as their coach.
But their losses were in the Big 12 championship game and the national title game.
Deion's debut at Colorado comes at No. 17 TCU, the national runner-up in Dykes' 1st season
