5. Colorado Buffaloes
Yes, Colorado actually has a chance to be a good team and make their presence known in the Pac-12 in 2016. No, they will not be competing for the conference championship but a step towards bowl eligibility is exactly what the program needs.

Colorado has not been to a bowl game since 2007 when it lost to Alabama, 30-24, in the Independence Bowl. After almost 10 years since that game, the time has come for the Buffaloes to become one of the better teams in college football by making it to a bowl game.

Colorado has Sefo Liufau back at quarterback after an injury in 2015. The offense, despite the loss of Nelson Spruce at receiver, should be balanced and has a playmaker in Phillip Lindsay at running back.

The Buffalo defense is what makes Colorado a team to watch in 2016. Defensive Coordinator Jim Leavitt leads a veteran, talented and fundamentally sound defense led by cornerback Chidobe Awuzie. The defense returns a total of 9 starters from last season.

Colorado might not take the world by storm in 2016, but don’t be shocked if this team doesn’t upset a Pac-12 team or two and makes it to a bowl game this season. Colorado will only keep getting better.

Need to build on this and we can with an impressive win tomorrow. It is a start and this season, as everyone has said, is just so critical to changing perceptions of the CU program. Need the bowl game and continue the narrative of the Rise is Real
 
Me, every time Leavitt gets national praise

Articles like this shouldn't hurt with recruiting. But as noted above, we need to back it up with progress on the field. [/captain.****ing.obvious]
 
I've always felt we were one of the best 4 win teams in the country. Have no idea if this team can turn the corner, but here's to our Buffs!
 
Someday this program will turn around. It is just going to happen. Hopefully it starts tomorrow
 
Eventually there will be a payoff for following this team through the last decade. I have been looking forward for the run of several years where they improve by a couple of wins per year until they get back to the point where they are a perennial top 20 team. Hoping that finally starts happening this year.
