The 2024 kickoff is still a few days away. So what? The CFB pages have already served their takes like hot buns. And how could Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes not land a grand prediction? Going by the estimations, the Buffs did not land anything big for this season but definitely is predicted to be having yet another disappointing season after 2023. 5-7, that’s the projection!

However, this did not sit well with the hardcore Colorado fans who wished to see Deion’s army sitting pretty at the peak. Why wouldn’t they, when their star QB Shedeur Sanders himself thinks so highly about their program? And now Buffs fans lock arms to safeguard Buffs’ honor.        

Bold prediction for Deion’s Colorado amidst his makeovers for 2024

On August 18, the Elite College Football page on Instagram came up with an intriguing post. The caption read, “Our 2024 CFB Hot Takes.” There are big estimations for each college football team. Out of which Deion’s program secured, “COLORADO HAS A DISAPPOINTING SEASON AND GOES 5-7.” 

As it’s no secret, Deion’s Buffs had a flop-tastic 2023 season with a 4-8 score, but Coach Prime had catered to all the loopholes that led to a major letdown. First things first, Shedeur had emerged as the most sacked player with 52 sacks. But what was the glitch in the matrix? Of course, it had to be the subpar defensive line. For this, Deion had diligently made use of the transfer portal to bolster the D-line to toss away the major roadblock in their Big 12 success. 

Besides, this season, their dual-threat Travis Hunter struts in with turbo mode after showing some extraordinary progress in Deion’s innovative training sessions, US Corps, and Navy water training. However, going by the projections, it’s clearly evident that no makeovers would dodge the final faceplant and the 2023 narrative is going to repeat itself. But the fans toss these projections in the trash.    

Buffs fans slam brutal projections

Fans believe that the page got brutal on Deion’s squad for no reason whatsoever. It did hurt a Buffs fan a little who believes that it’s clear hate towards Colorado that comes from every platform that influences the projections, “Not really a hot take everyone is expecting for CO to be bad.” And why do you call it a disappointment when there is some improvement? This is what another hardcore Buffs enthusiast had to say, “Colorado going 5-7 wouldn’t be a disappointment at all.”

“The CU hate gotta stop,” here came a plea from a fan who thinks that Deion’s program is unfairly roasted. The Buffs would secure an extra win from their last season’s score of 4. This is what another fan pointed out, “5 wins isn’t a horrible season for Colorado  if you can say you add wins every year that’s not a horrible year.” 

Another Buffs enthusiast banks on Shedeur’s confident claim about the Super Bowl to comment, “Colorado will be easily bowl eligible lmao.” It’s time to see if Deion and the team can sidestep these forecasts.
