On Wednesday July 25th, the Colorado Buffaloes football team was picked to finish 5th in the Pac-12 South with a win total of 5 games. Out of the 42 writers voting, they received just one first place vote. But a mere two and a half months later, CU is making their doubters look foolish. The Buffs are off to a 5-0 (2-0 in Pac-12) start, with three wins coming by three touchdowns or more, and a dramatic come-from-behind victory against their former foe, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
After a disappointing 2017 that followed up a cinderella campaign the year before, everyone on the outside seemingly wrote them off.
