Where Colorado ranks among Big 12 schools in U.S. News & World Report’s college rankings
Colorado’s final football season in the Pac-12 is about halfway through and we’re already looking ahead to what next year will present in the Big 12 Conference.
CU, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12 after this academic year.
Although the Big 12 isn’t as academically impressive as the current Pac-12 is with Stanford and Cal, Colorado’s decision to leave was needed from an athletics perspective.
Colorado, in fact, will soon become one of the Big 12’s best universities, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 college rankings. Here’s where CU ranks among its 2024 Big 12 counterparts:
