No. 18 Colorado opens Pac-12 play on the road against No. 13 Oregon on Saturday, Sept. 23. A 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff with TV coverage on ABC (National).

The game will be the first meeting between Deion Sanders and Dan Lanning. A rough off-season between college football's hottest coach and the Ducks' newcomer. Lanning took shots at Sanders over Colorado not being relevant in the Pac-12. It's shaping up to be a good Top 25 battle with some interesting storylines.

Oregon was taken to the wire by Texas Tech last weekend before pulling out a pick six late in the fourth quarter for the win. Colorado moved to 2-0 with a 36-14 win over Nebraska in the "Red Letter" rivalry.
