A 27-24 win over Arizona State on Saturday wasn’t enough for Colorado to make its way back into the US LBM Coaches Poll. For the second consecutive week, the 4-2 Buffs failed to receive a single vote.
This makes sense, though, as they were favored by about a field goal on the road and won by as much over one of the Pac-12’s weaker teams.
The post-Week 6 poll, which was released on Sunday, featured seven ranked Pac-12 teams, including Washington, USC and Oregon in the top 10.
Colorado has been ranked as high as No. 19 this season following its Week 3 win over Colorado State.
It’s likely that the Buffs will need to beat both Stanford on Friday and UCLA on Oct. 28 in order to begin receiving votes again.
