The Deion Sanders show is coming to Kansas City.Sanders and No. 16 Colorado will test their mettle against Kansas on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. The game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium, as all of Kansas’ home games this season are away from Lawrence, Kan.The Buffaloes (8-2, 6-1 Big 12) have won four straight games. If they win their last two — including a home contest against Oklahoma State on Nov. 29 — they will play in the Big 12 Championship Game on Dec. 7 for a spot in the College Football Playoff.But first things first. The Buffaloes likely will have their hands full with the Jayhawks (4-6, 3-4), who have won two straight games against ranked teams for the first time in school history. A week after knocking off Iowa State at Arrowhead, the Jayhawks handed BYU its first loss of the season on Saturday night with a 17-13 decision in Provo, Utah.”I feel like our team has always done a great job being able to stay the course,” quarterback Jalon Daniels said. “I feel like a big staple within our program is being able to trust the process.”The Jayhawks’ bowl chances seemed all-but done after they lost to Kansas State on Oct. 26 to fall to 2-6 overall. But if they knock off the Buffaloes and then win at Baylor on Nov. 30, they’ll be bowl eligible.”I have a lot of respect for Coach Sanders,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said Monday. “The thing we have in common is that we’ve come up through the ranks. He’s found a way to be successful using his own philosophy. He’s built a college football team that’s one of the most improved in college football in a very short period of time.”They’re a very talented team that’s playing with a lot of confidence.”The Jayhawks’ victory over BYU was a defensive struggle, which snapped a streak of six straight games of scoring at least 27 points.
