For the first time since 2002, three Buffs were named to the pre-season All-Big XII team as selected by media members who cover the conference. Coming as no surprise, All-American superstar Mason Crosby was selected as the conference’s top place kicker, his second straight pre-season honor. Center Mark Fenton garnered his fist pre-season selection and is also on the watch lists for the Rimington Award and the Outland Trophy. Linebacker Thaddaeus Washington was also a selection and is on the watch list for the Lombardi Award.
The media picked the Buffs to finish third in the division behind Nebraska and Iowa State and trailed by Kansas, Missouri, and Kansas State.
