Colorado up to No. 12 in both Associated Press and USA Today coaches’ polls
From CUBuffs.com … Colorado’s rise up the national polls ladder continued Sunday, as the Buffaloes moved up four spots to No. 12 in the Associated Press poll and three spots to No. 12 in the USA Today/Coaches poll.
The move was certainly not unexpected. Colorado won its fourth straight game Saturday, a 49-24 win at Arizona, while several teams previously ranked ahead of the Buffs, including Auburn and Texas A&M, suffered losses.
Now 8-2 overall and 6-1 in the Pac-12, Colorado will play host to Washington State next Saturday in a nationally televised 1:30 p.m. battle (Fox) between Pac-12 division leaders. Washington State, which defeated Cal on Saturday to improve to 8-2 overall and 7-0 in the Pac-12, also moved up, improving to No. 20 in both polls.
Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre said he expected a full house at Folsom Field, even though Saturday is the first day of CU’s Thanksgiving break.
“I’m so excited for our fans,” MacIntyre said in his post-game press conference Saturday night. “I said that on the radio. You all need to be there this Saturday and next Saturday (Nov. 26, when CU plays host to Utah in the regular season finale).”
MacIntyre’s Buffs were picked to finish last in the Pac-12 South in the preseason media poll, but could win the South title outright and earn a spot in the Pac-12 championship game with two more wins.
“This is a special time in Colorado football,” MacIntyre said. “Our young men have taken us to good, to really good, and we can move to great next weekend. We need everybody there. I said it at the beginning of the year at the kickoff luncheon and I’m pretty sure everybody smirked and said he’s crazy.
