The Colorado Buffaloes pulled off a thrilling upset in the latest AP Top 25 rankings, as they jumped up to the No. 21 spot in the rankings after being unranked just a few weeks ago. This is the first time the Buffaloes have been ranked in the AP Top 25 since 2016, and it comes in the debut season of head coach Karl Dorrell.
The Buffaloes have had an impressive start to the season, with wins over UCLA, Stanford, and Arizona State. They have also been competitive in losses to Oregon and USC. Coach Dorrell has done an excellent job of turning the program around in just his first season, and it is paying off with a spot in the AP Top 25.
The Buffaloes have been led by their defense this season, which ranks second in the Pac-12 in total defense and fourth in scoring defense. They have also been able to get contributions from their offense, as quarterback Sam Noyer has thrown for 1,837 yards and 13 touchdowns so far this season.
The Buffaloes have a tough schedule ahead of them, with games against Washington State, Utah, and Washington still to come. But if they can keep up their strong play, they could be looking at a spot in the top 15 of the AP rankings by the end of the season.
Coach Dorrell has done an incredible job of turning the program around in just his first season, and it is paying off with a spot in the AP Top 25. The Buffaloes are now looking to build on this success and make a run at a Pac-12 title. With Coach Dorrell at the helm, anything is possible for the Colorado Buffaloes.
