For the first time since the 2018 season, the CU Buffs are ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 Division I college football rankings. Following a win against the University of Arizona in Tucson Saturday night, which featured sophomore running back Jarek Broussard running for 301 yards and staunch defensive play, the Buffs enter the final week of the modified 2020 regular season ranked No. 21 nationally. The undefeated Buffs (4-0) trail only the No. 16 USC Trojans (4-0) among ranked Pac-12 teams.
The last time CU ranked in the AP Top 25, the Buffs got off to a 5-0 start that ended miserably, with seven consecutive losses to end the season.
