Barring a minor miracle, the Colorado Buffaloes are heading to a traditional bowl game and not the College Football Playoff. Colorado did not get the help the team needed in order to make the Big 12 title game.

Deion Sanders has the Colorado Buffaloes bowl-eligible in just his second season in Boulder, and according to the head coach, he'll be playing his starters—no matter what game they're in.

It has become trendy for college football players who are headed to the NFL draft to opt out of their team’s bowl games, citing it as nothing but a meaningless game. But this is not the attitude of the Colorado Buffaloes and their head coach Deion Sanders.
