BOULDER — Fresh off a 10-5 win over Stanford, the Colorado Buffaloes returned to the nation's top 25 on Sunday, checking in at No. 23 in both the Associated Press and USA Today/Coaches polls.
The Buffs returned to the rankings earlier this year after an 11-year absence when they were No. 21 in the AP poll and No. 23 in the coaches rankings following a 47-6 win over Oregon State. They dropped out the following week, however, after a loss at USC but have since been climbing steadily back up the ladder, receiving votes each week.
