Deion Sanders gives clear message to AP poll voters after Colorado win

The Colorado Buffaloes secured their sixth win of the season 6-2 after their 34-23 win over Cincinnati on Saturday night.

Despite their record, which is their best since coach Deion Sanders took over the program last season, Colorado is unranked and has not received any AP Poll votes since Week 7. Even then they only received three votes.

It's clear that Sanders might be a little upset that AP poll voters don't believe in his Buffaloes team. But some of the lower-ranked teams in the top 25 lost over the weekend, giving Colorado a chance to sneak into the poll. However, Sanders had a message for voters.

“We’re not thinking about the playoffs at the moment. We take it one game at a time,” Sanders said after the game. “We don’t even want to be included in the rankings. Please do not rate us. We don't like that. We prefer to stay at the back, in the dark and just chill in the shade. We are good, we are cool.”, we just. So don't feel pressured to rate us.

One thing AP voters will take into account, however, are the Buffaloes' two losses this season. They lost to Nebraska and then beat Kansas State. These were considered the team's biggest meetings of the season so far and they lost both.

Colorado is now bowl eligible, which is the first time since 2016. Will the Buffaloes make it to the College Football Playoff?
