Heather Dinich Makes Regular Season Prediction For Colorado Football

Colorado, home to college football's brightest spotlight, has a wide range of expectations, but ESPN's Heather Dinich falls on the more pessimistic side.

She joined the "Get Up" crew on Wednesday morning, where host Mike Greenberg posed a few questions ahead of the Week 1 kickoff. Of course, Colorado was a topic.

"So Heather, by December, Colorado will be what?" Greenberg asked her.

"An afterthought, Greeny, with four wins," she responded.

Not a positive thought there from Dinich, who expects zero improvement for Colorado over their win total from a year ago. But she explained why the schedule makes it tough to envision five wins.

"When I look at their schedule, ESPN analytics has them as a heavy favorite to win their season opener," she noted. "I also think that they can get wins against Cincinnati, Baylor. You know, Colorado State is one that could be tricky."

Otherwise, Dinich isn't convinced Colorado is certain or even likely to win most of their other games. She's also not very motivated by the roster this season compared to last.

"I look at this lineup and I see a lot of L's on there, to be honest," she said. "Remember, they have a whole new roster. Again, the most transfers in the FBS with 44. This is a lot of turnover, so I think they could be in trouble."

Another complete overhaul in Boulder has Dinich seriously doubting a year-two boom for Deion Sanders.
