The Colorado Buffaloes dropped from No. 35 to No. 57 in ESPN's future power rankings after a disappointing 3-9 season in 2025. The rankings, which look ahead to 2027, take into account program assets that contribute to success. Colorado's recent recruiting performance has not met expectations, although a notable transfer haul may offer some promise. Other Big 12 teams like UCF, Cincinnati, and Iowa State rank below Colorado, while Utah, BYU, and Texas Tech rank higher. Colorado will face Georgia Tech, which is currently positioned at No. 36, in Week 1.
