The Colorado Buffaloes have become the biggest story in college football.
Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean people actually believe they’re good enough to make the playoffs.
However, given Deion Sanders’ charisma, a lot of people tuned in to watch their season debut vs. North Dakota State.
Ratings peaked at $5.6 million viewers during their first game of the season.
With that in mind, Coach Sanders went on to state that the Buffaloes have the best fanbase in the country, whether other people liked it or not.
Coach Prime says he thinks Colorado has “The best fan base in the Country”
“Tv ratings, peaked at 5.6 million, that lets you know that our fan base is real and whether you like it or not you’re going to see it.”

Sanders deserves a lot of credit for all the attention he’s brought to Boulder.
His ‘us vs. them’ approach has certainly helped make it seem as if someone were rooting against him or his program when the fact of the matter is that even the most optimistic Colorado fans know they cannot compete with the high-end programs, at least for the time being.
A lot of people like Sanders, root for him, and praise the hard work he’s putting in, but that has nothing to do with the team being good enough or having the best fanbase in the nation.
Travis Hunter is must-watch television and he’ll continue to draw plenty of attention for as long as he’s out there.
Whether the Buffaloes will be able to keep those viewership levels up remains to be seen.
