Earlier this month, we looked at how various national media outlets see the 2023 season shaking out for Colorado. Those predictions were not rosy for the Buffaloes and the Pac-12 media has followed suit.
Colorado was picked to finish 11th in the Pac-12 this upcoming season after receiving 98 total points in the media voting. USC was picked to finish first in the conference, pulling in 25 of the 36 first-place votes. The reigning Pac-12 champion Utah Utes were third in the total voting and Washington was picked to finish second. The only team that CU is sitting ahead of is Stanford.
As of this writing, Pac-12 football media day is underway at the Resorts World Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Defensive coordinator Charles Kelly is representing the Buffaloes in place of head coach Deion Sanders, who underwent a follow-up surgery on Thursday. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter are also in Vegas fielding questions from the media.
