Despite his team's 4-8 record in 2023, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is supremely confident that his team would make the College Football Playoff if circumstances were different.
In an interview with Stephen A. Smith, Sanders said that if his Colorado team had done what Florida State had done - going 13-0 and winning the conference title - there's no way that they would have been left out of the College Football Playoff. He believes that his program is too high-profile to be left out in a situation like that.
"Coach (Mike) Norvell coached his butt off and we can't take nothing away from him," Sanders said. "But the real question that you have is would you leave me out of the college playoffs? Ain't no way in the world. We're box office. You got to see this unless you're crazy. I wish I had the problems that coach Norvell has."

Every time I think I can not care for someone any less than I do now, he opens his mouth again.

Actually, he inadvertently makes a good point. The playoffs aren't about best teams. They're about ratings.

It is actually probably accurate to say it is about best teams and best ratings. Many times they are the same.

While his motive for saying it (ego) might be different, he is not wrong. With the way the media was hyping them after starting 3-0 against a not stellar schedule? Plus, would he be the first black HC in the CFP? There's no chance they would have gotten left out.

All I have to say about this is Deion's own words....
"But the real question that you have is would you leave me out of the college playoffs?"

But why then have TCU in last year after they lost in the CCG? they have/had horrible ratings.... they didn't even fill their own stadiums. It is about ratings, when it comes to getting an sec school in.... they ahve mohave an SEC school in. Other SEC fans will vote for any SEC team so they can chant "sEC SEC SEC!".... i didn't even watch the TCU/Mich game.... no one really did if had to guess.

Your answer...Meanwhile, an average of 21.4 million viewers tuned in to watch the Texas Christian University (TCU) Horned Frogs' 51-45 win over the Michigan Wolverines at the Fiesta Bowl, which had a peak audience of 26.4 million

I have zero doubt that had Colorado run the table this year (hahahahhahahahahahha) they would be in the playoff. 13-0 with 12 P5 wins? No brainer.

I don't know who likes himself more - Prime or Trump.
They both have a long right arm - stretched from patting themselves on the back.

And the human opinion, much like that of the playoff committee, is valued so much had Colorado ranked in the top 20.
