The Buffaloes have attracted many talented players since Sanders' arrival. They expect the best of recruits to commit in the future as well. The University of Colorado will be one to look out for in the future.

The Colorado hype isn't hollow

It's not just the merchandise sales and tickets that are going well for the Buffaloes. Neither is it all social media hype, as many expected it to be before the season started. The Colorado team has performed superbly on the field, and can safely be called a program on the rise.

The Buffaloes kicked off their campaign with three straight wins, which eclipsed the total wins they had in the entirety of last season before Deion Sanders' arrival.

They did hit a snag after that, losing the next two games to the Oregon Ducks and the USC Trojans, some of the best programs in the country. The USC game showed the world that Colorado can compete against much higher-ranked teams. The Buffaloes ended their losing streak by overcoming the Arizona State challenge in week 6.

The Buffaloes are basking in the Prime Effect, and they are here to stay. How far can Sanders take them in his first season in Boulder?
