With the first two games in the books, Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are finally receiving the respect they deserve.

FOX announced the Big Noon Kickoff pregame show will return to Boulder next week ahead of the Rocky Mountain Showdown with CSU. A bold move by FOX executives to keep attention on the biggest story in the sports world.

ESPN will carry the game later in the day (10 p.m. ET). Many speculated if College GameDay would be added to the coverage lineup, but that doesn't appear to be an option at this point. Not to say it couldn't happen, but it would be unprecedented to have a double-feature at the same location for both FOX and ESPN.

Sanders secured his second win of the season with a 36-14 beat down of Nebraska. The Buffaloes are halfway to surpassing Vegas' projected win total of 3.5 on the season. They'll come into the RMS as favorites and will likely move up the Top 25 rankings.
