Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are not out of the Big 12 championship race yet, but they'll need help after losing to Kansas on Saturday.

In the locker room after the game, Colorado coach Deion Sanders gave his team a pretty blunt assessment as to why he thinks they lost to the Jayhawks. “The problem is you guys are intoxicated with success,” Sanders told his players after the game. Whew.

The Jayhawks downed the Buffaloes 37–21 on Saturday in Arrowhead Stadium, throwing a severe wrench into Colorado's quest for a Big 12 title. The Buffaloes are now in a messy three-way tie for first place that can expand to a four-way tie if Iowa State beats Utah.
