00:00The good news that Deion Sanders, Coach Prime, is now cancer-free and healthy going into the season,

00:07albeit has to go through a lot this offseason.

00:09Their win total is really low.

00:11It's five and a half going into the season to win the Big 12

00:15and even to make the college football playoff seems like such an enormous long shot.

00:19Do you think that this is more of a result of losing players like they did

00:23and Hunter and Shudder Sanders and some others to the National Football League?

00:27Or it's just simply once every few years Colorado will be good

00:30and then the rest of the time they'll be average,

00:32which is a lot of teams at that level in college football.

00:35Look, I mean, arguably you had two of the best players in college football last year

00:39on Colorado's roster, and one of those guys played both ways.

00:43So in theory it was three players who were the best players in college football

00:47on that Colorado roster have now departed.

00:50That said, it's going to be very tough for this Colorado team to win games

00:53because here's the difference.

00:55Their defense was awful last year, but they had Shudder Sanders and Travis Hunter

00:59to keep them in games offensively.

01:01Those guys aren't there anymore.

01:03Their defense is still going to be really bad.

01:05I just don't know that they have the offense to be able to keep up

01:07and play catch up here.

01:09I took under five and a half on the win total.

01:10I missed a six and a half, but I'm still fairly confident this is not a bowl team

01:15when you look at their schedule and what they have ahead of them in the Big 12.

01:20They're not really going to be done any favors this year, especially given the fact

01:26that they are a team that a lot of people will be gunning after.

01:31I mean, just look at their home games in and of itself.

01:34Wyoming's a team that can score a lot of points on offense.

01:37That's a problem for them.

01:38BYU, even though they changed quarterbacks, still will be a tough out.

01:41Arizona and Arizona State are their home games.

01:44I don't know that they're going to be any good on the road.

01:46Yes, Delaware is an interesting – not Delaware, I'm sorry.

01:50Georgia Tech's going to be a very interesting matchup in week one.

01:53I actually like Georgia Tech in week one, not only to cover that spread,

01:57but to go over their team total on offense.
