The 2018 Colorado Buffaloes football team represented the University of Colorado in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2018 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Mike MacIntyre, the Buffaloes played their home games on campus at Folsom Field in Boulder and finished at 5–7 (2–7 in Pac-12, last in South Division). Despite a promising 5–0 start and a top twenty ranking, the Buffaloes lost their final seven games. The low point came during homecoming on October 27, when Colorado blew a 31–3 third-quarter lead to struggling Oregon State and lost by seven in overtime. MacIntyre was fired on November 18, the day after the sixth consecutive setback, a 30–7 home loss to rival Utah. Mel Tucker, the defensive coordinator at Georgia, was hired as head coach in early December. Wiki link
