It’s been five weeks of non-stop coverage of Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes as the eyes of the college football world have been fully focused on Boulder. 

And rightfully so after Sanders got his revamped roster off to a 3-0 start.

Colorado defeated TCU, Nebraska and Colorado State to triple its win total from 2022, when the Buffaloes went 1-11. 

But while Colorado is clearly a vastly improved team, reality for the first-year head coach has finally hit. 

WHAT COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS LEARNED FROM A FUN WEEK 5

The Buffs were blown out by Oregon in Week 4 before falling to USC last Saturday despite a furious second-half rally. 

Colorado heads to Tempe to take on unranked Arizona State, and the college football world will be focused elsewhere. 

So, let’s take a look at where the eyes should be as Week 6 of the college football season kicks off. 

It’s the final edition of the Red River Showdown with both schools as members of the Big 12 conference. 

Both Texas and Oklahoma will depart the conference for the SEC at the conclusion next season. It’s the first time both schools have squared off undefeated since 2011. 

The Texas Longhorns have arguably a more impressive record than both Georgia and Michigan, the two teams ahead of the Longhorns in the standings, after beating Alabama on the road in Week 2 and taking down a Top 25 team in Kansas in Week 5.
