Mizzou was a 3.5 point favorite.
TCU was a 21 point favorite.

I think what Deion is doing at Colorado is impressive and if they win 7 or 8 games he should be recognized nationally with different Coach of the Year awards.
However, that doesn't mean the team deserves the rankings/recognition they've gotten. Beating TCU was a nice win, though in all honesty, there shouldn't be rankings until like mid-October as everything is based off the previous season and not the current year.
Colorado is a good story to follow given the nature how Sanders is structuring their roster via a new and unconventional path.
Doesn't mean they're a good team (yet). Their defense is atrocious. They'll be good in 1-2 years.

No, Colorado didn't deserve their ranking and that's EXACTY why people are/were rooting against them.
I love Sanders and his approach. I don't think he's even that shameless self-promoter (many do it for him). But the sports media was in a rush to skip 2/3 of the 'hero's journey' and run straight to him slaying dragons.

I don't think Colorado should be ranked (see point above) but there's a style difference between beating a Power 5 team at home by 3 vs winning by 3 on the road against a Power 5 team.
