In the grand scheme of things, it’s not that difficult to be bowl eligible in today’s NCAA. Win six of 12 games.
However, Colorado hadn’t done so since 2016. And after a 3-0 start in his first season melted into a 1-8 conference record, it looks like Deion Sanders’ second season in Boulder wouldn’t end long. better.
A narrow win over North Dakota St. and a 28-10 loss to Nebraska seemed to suggest that would be the case. But then came the victories. Five out of six games. And after beating Cincinnati on Saturday night, the Buffaloes are 6-2 and bowl eligible.
They have four more games left to play and are very much alive for a spot in the Big 12 Championship.
While the media handling before the season started was unfortunate, Deion has improved along the way. Beyond the inherent charisma that oozes from any program you coach, winning will make you attractive to a higher level of program.
At some point. If you want to do it.
