Colorado football improves ranking in USA TODAY Sports 1-138 re-rank.

Here's where the Buffaloes stand after nine weeks. The Colorado football team got back on track over the weekend, snapping a five-game losing streak with an overtime win over Kansas State.

That was reflected in the newest USA TODAY Sports 1-138 re-rank . Isaac Wilson forced tight end Charlie Williams for the game-winning touchdown, but running back Richard Young led the offense with a 100-plus-yard day on the ground.

It was not a dominant performance, but it was a much-needed win for a reeling program. This week, Colorado faces Arizona State, ranked No. 62.

CU remains the lowest-ranked Big 12 team, with Kansas up 11 spots. They'll face a road test against the Sun Devils this weekend, with a chance to move to 4-5, which would put bowl eligibility and six wins entirely on the table.
