For the first time since the 2020 season, the Colorado Buffaloes are in the AP Top 25.

After their upset victory over TCU on the road, the Buffaloes will enter their home opener Saturday as the 22nd-ranked team in the nation.

This is the Buffs' highest ranking since they were No. 21 toward the end of the 2020 season.

The Horned Frogs entered the season opener at No. 17 in the country after playing in the national championship in January and losing 65-7 to Georgia. They were still 21-point favorites when the Buffaloes visited.

After Deion Sanders was hired in December to turn around a program that went 1-11 in 2022, "Coach Prime" flipped the roster. The Buffaloes returned just 10 scholarship players from 2022 and welcomed 68 new scholarship players. Despite all that, not everyone was buying the hype.

Colorado defeated No. 17 TCU 45-42 Saturday to move to 1-0 and give Sanders his first Power Five victory.

With the loss, TCU is now unranked.
