In a bit a surprise, the Colorado Buffaloes were left off the most recent AP Top 25. The Buffs are unofficially 27th as both Kentucky and Arizona unexpectedly stayed in the rankings after multiple losses in a row.
Colorado occupied a spot in the Top 25 for almost the entirety of the season, but dropped out last week after losing at home to Northern Iowa (unofficially 36th in the current poll) following a road loss to then-No. 2 Kansas (currently 6th).
After a bounce-back 19-point win over Prairie View A&M, the Buffs pulled off what may be their best win of the season against the then-No.
