The Deion phenomenon and a massive Week 4
Deion Sanders and Colorado have become the biggest story in college football. We want to unpack why that happened, because we think it goes much deeper than "he's a celebrity and he's 3-0." After spending about 56 minutes on that discussion, we've got another hour of previewing a great Week 4 schedule including FSU-Clemson, Ohio State-Notre Dame, and Arizona State-USC in the Media Restriction Bowl.
