Former NFL star and “Undisputed” talk show co-host Keyshawn Johnson has riled up the college football world after predicting the Colorado Buffaloes to go 9-3 en route to winning the Big 12 title next season.
The popular Fox Sports talk show is known for its sometimes unpopular sports takes, though Johnson has taken a lot of flack for his opinion. Here’s what Johnson said:
“Just looking at the schools and the names and what I remember from a year ago, I look at (Colorado) as a 9-3 team,” Johnson said.
Johnson believes Colorado’s three losses will come against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Utah Utes and Kansas Jayhawks.
The former 1996 No. 1 overall NFL draft pick justified his 9-3 prediction by saying CU head coach Deion Sanders has a plan to be successful, using Coach Prime’s success at Jackson State as an example.
Johnson also thinks Colorado will win the Big 12 Conference title, prompting co-host Rachel Nichols to ask for confirmation. Johnson brought his fingers close together and replied:
“I watched them play every single snap last year,” Johnson said. “I might have missed 20 snaps in all of their games. They was this close, except one (game).”
