Following its 31-26 season-opening win over Division I-FCS North Dakota State on Thursday, Colorado received one vote in the latest Associated Press Top 25 college football poll. That vote belonged to Fox Sports’ Mike Hill, who ranked Colorado 25th.

Outside of the Top 25, Colorado was one of 21 schools recognized in the “Others Receiving Votes” category.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is in his second season as head coach of Colorado, led by his son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and two-way superstar Travis Hunter.

Both players were sensational against North Dakota State. Sanders completed 26 of 34 passes for 445 yards and four touchdowns (one interception). Hunter caught seven passes for 132 yards and three scores while playing full-time defense.

As good as those two are, Colorado needs to improve in other areas to become a Top 25 game. The run game failed to get going, as the Buffaloes rushed for 59 yards on 23 carries (2.6 YPC). The defense also struggled against the Bison, who held the ball for nearly 37 minutes and amassed 449 yards.

Colorado now faces a tough test on Saturday when it visits Nebraska. The Cornhuskers looked legitimate against UTEP when true freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-7 win over UTEP in Week 1.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) in Lincoln.
