The 1998 Colorado Buffaloes football team represented the University of Colorado at Boulder as a member of the North Division of the Big 12 Conference during the 1998 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by Rick Neuheisel in his fourth and final season as head coach, the Buffaloes compiled an overall record of 8âÂÂ4 in a mark of 4âÂÂ4 in conference play, placing fourth in the Big 12 North. Colorado was invited to the Aloha Bowl, where the Buffaloes defeated Oregon. The team played home games at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.
Neuheisel departed Colorado in early January for the University of Washington. He was succeeded by Gary Barnett, previously head coach at Northwestern University.
