Are Deion Sanders and Colorado underrated?

One of the biggest headlines of college football this offseason has been Deion Sanders at Colorado. He is using the transfer portal like no one has seen before, and has completely flipped a roster that went 1-11 last season. However, it is hard to tell based off reports and predictions how good the Buffs can be. That is why CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah joins the show today, as he and Kevin Borba dive into how good this team truly can be.

8:53 Colorado’s transfers have been the subject of discussion throughout this entire process, but is it sustainable and will there be rules to deter programs from using it as much. Shehan explains why the way in which Deion Sanders is using the portal is something that those around the sport will monitor closely to not only see how well it works, but to also learn what not to do. He also discusses the notions surrounding some of the player that the Buffs have brought in, as some people have been heavily critical of them.

20:23 Lastly, we discuss the Buffs Week 1 matchup against TCU. The expectations for both teams are all over the place, but with FanDuel’s odds being released recently there is an expectation that Colorado will get blown out of the water. Shehan explains what advantages that Colorado has over TCU, and how important the win could be for the program. Many people are counting on the Buffs to lose, but not factoring in how much a win could help them moving forward. We dive into why the Buffs can win, and also why TCU is an opponent that demands respect!
