Whats your point?
Are they better than terrible? Sure. Good on em and on Deion for turning things around.
Im talking about the ridiculous hype after that 1st game and the insanity that followed though.
Seasoned football writers/broadcasters were tripping over themselves to declare them as the next coming of the 2001 Miami Hurricanes. Celebrities flying in for games, them getting voted as a top 20 team etc. It was getting obnoxious with all the coverage for what was and has proven to be a very middling at best FBS team, even if it wasn't their fault for most of it. No one was looking at them objectively however, even though the flaws were obvious.
As it stands today, i would not be surprised one iota if they dont even make a bowl game because they finish with a losing record. The PAC 12 is a gauntlet this year and they still have to play 4 ranked teams including 2 high octane offenses which they have simply been unable to stop this campaign.
I actually dont dislike the Buffs nor a lot of the "underdog" programs either, but this was next level absurdity.
