College football playoff predictions: Colorado, Georgia in; Tennessee, BYU out

Colorado could find itself not only playing for the Big 12 title in three weeks, but for the privilege to be one of the highest-ranked conference champions in the sport.

The Buffaloes play in one of the four most competitive leagues in the sport and feature three of the sport's superstars – albeit one of them is a head coach – in Deion Sanders, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. While Coach Prime is one of the best marketers in the world — alongside Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds — Hunter is one of the wonders of the sport.

And it's Hunter that sets Colorado apart on the field.

Hunter ranks sixth in the nation in receptions with 74, tied for eighth in receiving touchdowns with nine, and 14th in receiving yards with 911. For perspective, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith has 49 catches for 865 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, Hunter is tied for third in the Big 12 with three interceptions, trailing Kansas corners Cobee Bryant (5) and Mello Dotson (4). And against Utah, he became the first player in 25 years in college football and the NFL to record a rushing TD, 50 yards receiving and an interception in the same game.

Show me as many highlight plays of Hunter as possible because his college football playing days are coming to a close very, very soon. 

So, will we get a chance to see Hunter and the Buffaloes in this year's College Football Playoff? Let's find out!
