The Brief:

  • Kansas Jayhawks defeated three consecutive ranked opponents, including a 37-21 win over the Colorado Buffaloes, despite having a losing record.
  • Colorado’s head coach, Deion Sanders, addressing a setback in their national aspirations, emphasized personal accountability and criticized his team’s complacency.
  • The upcoming game against Oklahoma State, still winless in the Big 12, is crucial for Colorado, with Sanders urging focus despite the Thanksgiving distractions.

In a stunning turn of events that rippled through the college football landscape, the Kansas Jayhawks etched their names into the history books by defeating three consecutive ranked opponents despite carrying a losing record. This past Saturday, their latest victory came at the expense of the Colorado Buffaloes, who suffered a devastating 37-21 loss. The defeat was particularly bitter for Colorado’s head coach, Deion Sanders, who candidly acknowledged that complacency had crept into his team. “We started smelling ourselves a little bit,” he confessed in the aftermath.

The loss was not just another statistic in the Buffaloes’ season; it represented a significant setback in their aspirations for national glory. Before this game, Colorado stood on the brink of securing a spot in the Big 12 title game – a victory there would have opened the door to the coveted College Football Playoff. However, this third loss of their campaign has now complicated their path to these achievements.

Sanders, ever the motivator, did not mince words when addressing his team’s squandered opportunity. He emphasized personal accountability and leveraging one’s gifts towards achieving greatness. “If God were to grant you every darn thing you needed in life…and you don’t do nothing with it, that’s on you,” Sanders remarked, pointing out that his team had controlled its destiny but failed to capitalize.

Looking forward, Colorado’s journey does not get any easier. The regular season finale pits them against Oklahoma State – a team hungry for redemption after a disappointing season without a single Big 12 conference win so far. Despite Oklahoma State’s struggles and 3-8 record, Sanders is wary of underestimating any opponent and has urged his players to maintain focus on football amidst Thanksgiving festivities.

“You’ve got to refocus your young men and let them understand this is not about turkey and dumplings and cranberry sauce…It’s about football, man,” said Sanders as he prepared his squad for what promises to be an intense showdown against Mike Gundy’s Oklahoma State Cowboys.
