The Colorado Buffaloes were able to get back on track last week with a big win over rival Colorado State. The Buffs won an emotionally charged game following some bulletin board material from the Rams, ending their non-conference slate at a respectable 2-1. The real work begins on Saturday for Colorado, as they'll officially re-enter the Big 12 with their first conference game of the season against Baylor.
The game will be played at Folsom Field in Boulder, giving Colorado an advantage with a partisan home crowd. Before Saturday night's game, Sanders appeared on FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff" for an interview with the crew. During the conversation, Sanders was asked by Brady Quinn if there was an update to his infamous "power rankings" of his children, and the coach was more than happy to answer.
"My daughter says she's the No. 1 seed right now," Sanders said with a laugh . "Shilo is always fighting for dead last.
