FEATURED ARTICLE: CU at the NFL Draft

CU at the NFL Draft

A look back at the 2025 Draft (four Buffs taken; four UDFA) ... CU in the Top 25 in all-time draftees; No. 1 in the Big 12 ... CU has had two "Mr. Irrelevants" and seven all-time top ten picks ... READ MORE »

POLL OF THE DAY

Which of the following FanDuel odds to make the College Football Playoff do you find to be the most surprising?

Texas Tech at -390, the second-best odds in the nation to make the Playoffs. Texas Tech has certainly bought a strong roster, but I'm not anointing them as Big 12 champions in April
Colorado at +8000, the worst in the Big 12. It's a stretch to see the Buffs in the CFP, but there are teams in the Big 12 which are just as bad off (or worse) than my Buffs
Kansas State (+900) higher than Baylor (+1500) and Arizona State (+1600); Oklahoma State (2-22 the last two seasons) ranked 11th in the Big 12
