Who gave Colorado its lone preseason AP Top 25 vote?

The preseason college football AP Top 25 poll dropped earlier this week, and the Colorado Buffaloes received one vote.

The singular vote means that of the 62 AP Top 25 voters, one ranked the Buffs at No. 25 on their preseason ballot. So, who was brave enough to cast Colorado’s singular vote? According to College Poll Tracker , Mike Hill of Fox Sports left their final ballot spot open for the Buffs.

Hill, who has been with Fox Sports for over 10 years, holds a unique connection with second-year CU head coach Deion Sanders. Hill’s Fox Sports profile states that he provided the audiobook voiceover for Sanders’ 1998 biography, “Power, Money & Sex: How Success Almost Ruined My Life.”

Looking closer at Hill’s ballot, the Fox Sports analyst left No. 20 Texas A&M , No. 23 USC and No. 25 Iowa outside his top 25.

Colorado received two votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll .
