Entering the first CFP rankings, Colorado ranks 24th in the U.S. LBM Coaches Poll and 21st in the AP Top 25, while conference rivals Iowa State and Kansas State suffered setbacks with surprise losses last weekend.

Colorado football CFP rankings projection
BYU will be inside the College Football Playoff top 12 in the first ranking with an 8-0 record, but there’s still a path for the Buffaloes to make the playoff.
The remaining schedule is favorable for Colorado, with Saturday’s trip to Texas Tech (6-3) likely posing the toughest challenge in the Buffaloes’ potential run to a Big 12 title game. If Colorado can escape Lubbock with a win, the three remaining regular-season opponents (Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State) have a combined record of 9-16. ESPN’s playoff predictor currently gives Colorado a 14 percent chance of making the playoff.
