Jason Whitlock blasts Deion Sanders and Colorado ahead of Washington State game - "Headed for last place in Pac-12"

Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes had a freefall from grace in recent weeks. After a strong start, the team has lost four straight games heading into Week 12.

The Buffaloes will be eager to snap their losing streak when they face Washington State on Saturday, Nov. 18. However, a defeat would push them to the bottom of the Pac-12, and popular sports columnist Jason Whitlock has not held back with his criticism of Sanders.

In his Blaze Media column, Whitlock slammed Sanders, with the title of his article reading:

"Deion Sanders is headed for last place in the Pac-12".

Whitlock criticized the media for hyping up Sanders after Colorado's bright start before claiming that the team "will compete for last place in the PAC-12." He also added that society no longer values merit before claiming that the biggest losers are the predetermined winners.

In his column, Whitlock pointed out that Sanders' Buffaloes are the most undisciplined team in all of college football. He slammed "Coach Prime" for his tactics and building a team filled with rappers, celebrities, and media grifters.

Whitlock also stated that Sanders' goal isn't to build a stable program in Colorado. Instead, he claimed that the head coach's primary objective is to develop a brand that profits himself.
