The Biggest What If's Around Colorado | Deion Sanders at Colorado

There are so many questions surrounding Colorado but there are two that stand out among the rest to me. For starters, what if Shedeur Sanders is able to just seamlessly transition to being a really good quarterback at the Pac-12 level. That alone should help the Buffs win a handful of games, as he has the ability to slice and dice defenses and take pressure of their own defense. On the contrary, the other what if I have for Colorado is what if the defense struggles. In a conference with elite offenses, if they are unable to slow them down it will make life on the offense much more difficult and lead to losses.

9:27 247Sports Raymond Lucas Jr. projected the wins and losses of every Pac-12 team, and while he did come around on the Buffs he still has them with a sub .500 record. I break down his prediction and discuss the magnitude of how bad it would be if Colorado actually started the season 1-4. I also break down which games I agree with and which ones I think could go the other way.

15:43 Athlon Sports released their preseason predictions of the Pac-12, and while I didn’t write them I do break them down and discuss how I felt about them. The Buffs as you could imagine were near the bottom with the two other programs with new coaches. I discuss whether or not I agree with the record, and also pinpoint teams that may have been too high on the list.
