In a twist only seen in, I don’t know, most novels, the Colorado Buffaloes were left out of the CFBPPlayoff rankings announced on December 2nd. They may be getting punished for their recent loss to Kansas State, but it seems like a stretch to leave them out this late in the game. The Buffs have […]
