ESPN 2023 college football Power Rankings after Week 1

Coach Deion Sanders said his Colorado Buffaloes were coming in 2023, and now they've arrived in our Power Rankings.

The Buffaloes' 45-42 victory in Week 1 at No. 17 TCU, the national runner-up in the 2022 season, made believers out of ESPN's writers. Colorado, which had only one win last season, went from unranked to No. 21. Now the Buffaloes get another chance to prove themselves, this time against Big Ten foe -- and former Big 12 rival -- Nebraska in their home opener.

The most impressive win of the week, though, belonged to Coach Prime's alma mater.
