The reason they are currently number one is that they had a solid win over a Colorado St team who themselves had a very solid win over Oregon St. In week one, this is another of an advantage to give them the top spot. |

Might be overselling CSU, but that Buffs defense looked fantastic regardless. |

(+3) 17-3 over CSU, who put up 58 on a P5 team the previous week. |

By transitive property they have a Pac 12 win! Also a pretty strong defensive performance. |

Colorado's defense doesn't seem to have taken too much of a step back after replacing nearly everyone on that side of the ball. They held a dynamic Colorado State offense to 3 points in a Rocky Mountain Showdown win (maybe with the help of some flags). RB Phillip Lindsay still looks legit. |

Not the strongest win,
but it was against a well-known upsetter. North Dakota can be scary. |

It's a shame that Texas ended up ranked in the preseason polls, but not Colorado. This team continues to rise to the occasion under HC Mike McIntyre, as the defense shut down rival Colorado State (who scored 62 points vs P5 Oregon State the week prior) in a packed Denver stadium. QB Steven Montez might be the real deal as well. It's just too bad that the refs wanted to play in the game as well... |

I wasn't very confident in placing Colorado in my week one ballot. Honestly, I was considering placing Utah in their spot. Colorado State looked good against the Beavers and I figured that Colorado would lose to the Rams. I was wrong. Losing Sefo may not matter too much since they didn't even have him playing all of last year. After their game against Colorado State, twitter and r/cfb alike cried the tears of Ref-ball victims. Controversy aside, they still beat Bobo's CSU team. Winter is coming but the Buffs are cozy in the top 25 for now. No need to pay the gas bill because Texas's dumpster fire is supplying enough heat to keep the ranked teams content. |

Why did I leave the Buffs off my first ballot? I forgot they were good. I apologize Buffaloes, I know what it is like to be over looked but keep winning and I'll keep you climbing. |

Colorado State put up a million points on Oregon State, then put up 3 against Colorado. Yes, Oregon State has an atrocious defense, but Colorado completely halted a confident team in a season-opening rivalry game. Impressive. |

Colorado was good last year, I felt they were being slept on against this year,  I am willing to give them the benefit.  Any signs of faltering next week and they will  be gone again. |

Previoussly NR: Got the W over Colorado State.  They had success last season, so we'll see if they can keep it up. |
