"Can hate Coach Prime all you want but he’s bringing in views for CFB": Fans divided over latest viewership rankings after Week 5

While not everyone likes what Deion Sanders has brought to Boulder, his popularity shows in viewership numbers for college football. Sanders, along with his sons Shedeur and Shilo, left the Jackson State program to coach the Colorado Buffaloes. Last season, the Buffaloes went 4-8 but not before stamping their authority as one of the most famous college football teams.

That seems to have continued this season. On Wednesday, On3 released rankings of the top 10 most watched college football games, and, unsurprisingly, Sanders' Colorado's game against the UCF Knights last week came in at third with 4.08 million views.

Fans on the internet reacted to the post, with many backing Deion Sanders' hype train as the popularity of college football increases.

"SEC, SEC, Deion, SEC. What is the top 5 for the season?," one fan commented.

"Ya can hate coach prime all you want but he’s bringing in views for CFB 🤷‍♂️," one fan added.

"Colorado 🫵🏾🫵🏾🦬🦬 the standard 🔥🏆🫵🏾," another wrote.

"Colorado Football is prime time TV. And I'm here for it," one reacted.

One fan was subjective in their reaction:

"They're going to do everything possible to make their darling Colorado rise a lot more than that."
