“The Travis Hunter Affect”: CFB fans react to Deion Sanders’ Colorado being named as the No. 1 most fun college

Deion Sanders took over as the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes last year. He and his sons transferred from Jackson State to Boulder amid a lot of hype and expectations. Coach Prime's arrival bolstered the program's marketability and fame and helped it become the talk of the town.

After Sanders recorded a 4-8 debut campaign last season, college football fans are keen on seeing how the Buffs will perform this year as a member of the Big 12 conference. Apart from this, 247Sports also named the University of Colorado the most fun college in the United States.

In the top 10 rankings provided by 247Sports, Colorado took the first position, followed by Texas and Iowa in second and third. Fans took to the comment section to share their thoughts and opinions.

One fan came forward to name two-way star Travis Hunter as the reason why Colorado bagged the first spot in the rankings:

"The Travis Hunter effect."

Another fan wrote:

"Not surprised, how can a college with Travis Hunter not be the most fun?"

One fan felt the achievement should be included in the university's brochure.

"Definitely need to add this to the new CU college brochure."

This fan compared his personal experiences between Colorado and Texas.

"I love the Buff, but I love in Austin. Ain't no way Boulder is more fun than Austin. The Campus is literally downtown."

Another fan had a rather interesting take on Colorado bagging the top spot on the list:

"CU is fun but they didn't teach me how to write good."

Even Deion Sanders was elated with Colorado being named the most fun college in the United States. He shared the rankings list compiled by 247Sports on his Instagram story amid the offseason preparations for his first Big 12 campaign this year.

Paul Finebaum bashes Deion Sanders' Colorado ahead of their Big 12 reunion campaign

College football insider Paul Finebaum harshly criticized Deion Sanders' team as they prepare for their second season under him following last year's 4-8 campaign. On Wednesday, on ESPN's "Get Up," Finebaum lashed out at the Buffs, saying:

"Deion Sanders is a superstar, we all know that. But Colorado is nothing. They're just another school in the middle of nowhere in a third-rate league.

"The problem I have with Deion Sanders is his attitude. Last year he embraced it he was king of college football for five weeks. He's already off to a terrible start. He started a food fight last weekend which was a big mistake. He's very defensive and I think he's in for a very difficult second year in Boulder."

Coach Prime has revamped both his coaching staff and roster after last season. Will fans experience a new Colorado in the Big 12 this year? Or will the team fail to make an impact and fumble down the road as the season progresses?
