10. Colorado Buffaloes (9-2)

Colorado is having one of their best seasons in a long time and it’s been fun to watch from afar. They just beat #22 Washington State, which sets them up to make their conference championship by beating Utah next weekend. It will obviously be a challenging game, but it won’t be one that they aren’t ready for.

Could Colorado make the big jump into the top four by winning their conference? Maybe, but I don’t think it’s very likely. They have been ranked pretty low this season, in terms of the AP Poll, but it has been apparent that the committee doesn’t care about such things.

The Buffaloes are on a fast track to win the Pac 12 and the rest of the west coast teams better take notice before it’s too late.
