Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has reinforced his image as a family man during his Colorado tenure. One of the most talked-about revelations from the coach has been a rankings list of his favorite children.

During an appearance on FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff," the Buffs coach hilariously trolled his injured son, Shilo Sanders, with his ranking on the latest children's list.

"My daughter just showed me a shirt, she flew in from Alabama with last night where she's playing basketball. She showed me the shirt and it says Bossy and number one like she got the rankings seeds on the back of her shirt ... I love it and the kids know, Shilo's always fighting for dead last in some form or fashion," Sanders said.

Deion Sanders reconciles with his daughter Shelomi Sanders

Deion Sanders has taken his sons, Shilo and Shedeur Sanders, and his daughter Shelomi Sanders, with him everywhere he has coached. The trio famously entered the transfer portal from Jackson State when the charismatic coach got the Colorado job.

Shelomi Sanders decided to leave the family unit and entered the transfer portal from Colorado in April and ended up joining the HBCU program, the Alabama A&M Bulldogs.

Deion Sanders railed against the decision by his daughter to enter the transfer portal during an interview with "DNVR Buffs."

"It was stupid. You don't enter the portal. You get a team before you enter the portal. You kinda get a team before you enter the portal. You know, that's what I would advise a child. And I know, well, it's illegal. C'mon, man, everybody knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody," Deion Sanders said.

The move sparked tensions between Coach Prime and his ex-wife Pilar Sanders, with the latter accusing the former of not being supportive of their daughter's move to the Bulldogs during an Instagram live session.

Shelomi also reinforced the speculation that all was not well between father and daughter during an Instagram live session detailing why she left Colorado.

"For me, I would say, yeah, last year during the beginning where I just came home sad every day," Shelomi Sanders said on her Instagram live on Aug. 11. "I was sad and mad like every day. That and when I was at Jackson, like if I didn't leave when I did, I promise you I would have quit."

During a recent interview with NBC Sports, Shelomi revealed that she had reconciled with her famous father.

"You know, he is my dad and he's also a coach, so I think that's why he kind of just had a reaction like that," Shelomi said. "But we handled and discussed things behind closed doors so it's all good now."

Deion Sanders also said in the past that Shelomi Sanders has topped his children's rankings and the Colorado coach will be glad to put the unpleasantness between them behind him.
