Shedeur Sanders Ripped by Fans Over Colorado Super Bowl Comment

In this story:
Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes were the talk of the college football world last season when they got out to a 3-0 start in Deion Sanders's first year as the head coach. They then went on to lose seven of their last eight games to finish 4-8 and well out of bowl contention.
Shedeur Sanders will be back under center for Colorado this season in what could be his final year before making the jump to the NFL.
The QB and his teammates attended the Big 12 media day Wednesday in Las Vegas and he had lots of people talking on social media about his claim that Colorado is every team's Super Bowl.

Considering how last season went, that's a tough claim to make.
Fans roasted him for it:
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a more delusional group of people than anyone around the Colorado Football program these days. https://t.co/TkOP1DrqrZ

Crazy to think that Oregon, USC, Stanford, UCLA, Oregon State, Arizona, Wazzu, and Utah are all coming off of Super Bowl victories https://t.co/FpWpvfoYMd

If that’s the case, Shedeur and the Buffs are Jim Kelly and the 90s Bills https://t.co/cVrwaBrsxk

How can you win 1 conference game and say you’re everyone’s Super Bowl?

You’re literally everyone’s easiest game lmao https://t.co/sCHQVY9wGG
Colorado football reminds me of a bad guy in pro wrestling who’s determined to speak his BS into existence. https://t.co/8jIDJWdUJ0

This guy went 4-8 and got sacked 52 times last year. No one is worried about Colorado https://t.co/qjvx5Rwncv
