The Colorado Buffaloes put together an amazing season, one of the most surprising in the NCAA ranks.

However, outside of the biggest Buffs fans, the only names you’ve likely heard this season are that of head coach Mike MacIntyre and senior quarterback Sefo Liufau. It’s a roster that doesn’t get a lot of recognition.

Obviously, if you win 10 games in Division I college football, you have more than a good coach and a leader at the quarterback position. That’s why today, I’m going to highlight five guys that fans around the country should be aware of, particularly if they have a rooting interest in Oklahoma State, who the Buffs will meet in the Alama Bowl.

MacIntyre and Liufau get enough press and defensive back Tedric Thompson has been recognized on a national level. I’m not here to tell you about them. I’m here to tell you about five special players that have each contributed to a great season, and should be given more credit for that outside of Boulder.

Oklahoma State, you may want to have a few of these guys in your scouting report.
