Less than two months removed from wrapping up a 1-11 season,
the Buffaloes are receiving some top 25 hype thanks to Deion Sanders and his impressive group of new additions.
National media outlets have already begun releasing their way-too-early 2023 rankings,
and RJ Young of Fox Sports College Football has Colorado among his top 25 teams ahead of next season.
No other team with fewer than six wins in 2022 made the cut.
The Buffs did receive a single vote in the College Wire composite early top 25,
which pulls from 247Sports, CBS Sports, Sporting News, USA TODAY Sports and ESPN.
