Paul Finebaum Calls Colorado 'Irrelevant' In College Football Picture

During Monday's First Take, Paul Finebaum scoffed at the possibility of Colorado making the College Football Playoff...

"Anyone asking whether Deion Sanders and Colorado are close to the playoffs simply doesn’t understand the reality of the road," Finebaum said, as transcribed by On3. "They’re not going to the playoffs this year, and I’m not sure Deion Sanders is ever going to get them to the playoffs because I don’t think he has the patience to stay at Colorado long enough."

Finebaum called Sanders the "best salesman I've ever seen" before claiming that Colorado has a "ridiculously inflated view of itself." He believes Shedeur Sanders recently demonstrated that idea in recent comments.

"I heard Shedeur Sanders, who is a fabulous quarterback, say last week, 'We are everyone’s Super Bowl.' Shedeur, you are not. You are an easy win nowadays," Finebaum said. "You got off to a phenomenal start last year, beating a couple of mediocre teams that had big names. And quite frankly, you haven’t done anything since other than crash and burn."

"I know that the media loves this story. We fall all over ourselves, but Colorado isn’t important in college football," Finebaum declared. "Deion Sanders is. He’s a standalone person. He’s one of the most charismatic people we’ve ever seen, but Colorado is nothing. They don’t matter. They’re irrelevant in the big picture of college football."
