True Heisman contender not concerned with EA Sports College Football 25 talk like Deion and Shedeur Sanders are

EA Sports College Football 25 is the talk of the town to many, but not Carson Beck. After Deion and Shedeur Sanders both complained about the Georgia QB being rated the same as Coach Prime's youngest son, Beck assured everyone that he personally doesn't care.

“It’s a video game. Rate me what you want,” Beck told Dawg Post. "I am just going to go do the real thing in real life. I’m not too worried about video games.”

Deion asked reporters at Big 12 media day how it happened that Shedeur and Beck were both No. 1, while Shedeur claimed he doesn't believe in ties.

"When it comes to quarterback ratings, I don't believe in ties," Sanders said (h/t On SI). "It's either a winner or loser, like let's just get to the point."

Deion and Shedeur Sanders must find balance between championship talk and getting defensive about video games

The Buffs are in no man's land, and that makes projecting their season very difficult.

Joel Klatt has gone on record to claim that Colorado is a potential Big 12 championship team because of how talented Shedeur and two-way star Travis Hunter are. Meanwhile, Pete Thamel and Rece Davis both doubt that the Buffs will even be bowl eligible.

Could Klatt being on Big 12 network carrier FOX Sports and the ESPN guys being SEC and ACC first have an impact on the extreme ends of projecting CU's expectations? Undoubtedly. It'd be a fool's errand to not factor those tie-ins into these opinions.

But it's not shocking to see both the overwhelming support and exaggerated negative slant for a team that brought in a slew of transfers and is tough to mark a realistic trajectory for.

It'd be nice for Shedeur and Deion to find a middle ground between biting off more than they can chew and worrying too much about winning a title when a bowl game should be the goal and talking about a video game.
