• Texas Tech. The Red Raiders end up with eight wins most years, but that's it. Fun fact: Texas Tech hasn't been ranked since 2018, the longest drought in the Big 12 (61%, 25 Votes)
• Arizona State. The Sun Devils are the defending Big 12 champions, but lose Cam Scattebo, and won't be sneaking up on anyone this fall. Going from worst-to-first doesn't mean you get to stay on top (24%, 10 Votes)
• Kansas State. The Wildcats lost three of their last four regular season games to end the 2023 season. KSU might right the ship in 2025, but I'm not sure they belong as a preseason Top 25 team (15%, 7 Votes)

• That Coach Prime has proof of concept to sell to recruits and transfers. He took a one-win team to a final Top 25 ranking in two years - What does the future hold? (79%, 128 Votes)
• That CU (and Travis Hunter) won't have to live with the "first team with a Heisman Trophy winner to finish outside the rankings in 40 years" label (last: Bo Jackson at Auburn, 1985) (14%, 23 Votes)
• That the pundits who would be more than happy to write off CU '25 will have to rethink their narrative. It's more difficult to dismiss a team which finished the season before nationally ranked (7%, 12 Votes)

• No. With Travis, Shedeur, and most of CU's honored players from this year moving on, it would be a surprise if the Buffs were given credit as a Top 25 team this early. CU will have to earn it (46%, 88 Votes)
• Probably not, but that may change depending on how the Transfer Portal plays out this spring, and how (cough! cough!) the coaching staff plays out. Perhaps by August CU will be receiving votes (45%, 85 Votes)
• Yes. The Buffs were ranked at the end of the 2024 regular season, and have a solid base of good players returning. With seven home games and a manageable schedule, CU should be getting some love (9%, 17 Votes)

• Medium. There seems to be good reason to believe that Coach Prime will stay with CU, but I am anxious to have the talking heads move on, and let the CU coaches, players and fans focus on the season (48%, 112 Votes)
• Low. Everyone who is close to the program has said (often, repeatedly) that there is little to see here. Some negotiating, yes, and some posturing, perhaps, but little reason for concern (36%, 83 Votes)
• High. Each day that goes by without a contract extension is another day that there is a chance that Coach Prime will move on to coach at the next level. I'll be worried until given reason not to (16%, 36 Votes)

• The scary thing - the Buffs are losing to other teams at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. There are still two games against Kansas to be played, and Houston, and Iowa State, and Baylor ... Yikes! (40%, 82 Votes)
• We knew it would be a rough transition, moving to the powerful Big 12 and losing three players to the NBA Draft, but I didn't think it would be this bad. Hope the Buffs can turn it around (33%, 69 Votes)
• Yes, the Buffs made it to the second round of March Madness last year, but this is ridiculous. Not sure how Tad Boyle missed on so many transfers and recruits, but this is a very poor team (27%, 55 Votes)
