Steve Spurrier Makes Bold Claim About Colorado-Nebraska, Alabama-Texas Games

The SEC rules the roost in college football, and this Saturday brings a preview of what is to come after this massive round of conference realignment takes hold in the years to come. Alabama hosts Texas in primetime on Saturday night, in a game that could have significant College Football Playoff ramifications.

On paper, that matchup is the biggest in the country this weekend. However, if you ask legendary former SEC coach Steve Spurrier, he’d channel Lee Corso with a resounding, “Not so fast my friend!”

Appearing on The Paul Finebaum Show Wednesday, Spurrier revealed that he is all aboard the Coach Prime hype train, and is enamored with what Deion Sanders and his brand new roster has already accomplished at Colorado. To him, Colorado’s renewed rivalry matchup with Nebraska is this weekend’s biggest game, after the show that the Buffaloes put on at TCU last weekend, pulling out a stunning 45–42 win over the 2022 national runner-up.
