STANFORD, Calif. -- Almost to a player, Colorado welcomed the idea of becoming bowl eligible for the first time in a decade with a collective shrug of the shoulders and a yawn.Outside of a brief celebration in the northwest corner end zone at Stanford Stadium and an acknowledgement later in the locker room, the Buffaloes didnt make much of their 10-5 win over the Cardinal other than it was another step toward their ultimate goal of winning the Pac-12 championship.Thats exactly how coach Mike MacIntyre expected and wanted his team to react, no matter the historical implications.We have one goal, and thats Pac-12 champions, said running back Phillip Lindsay after rushing for 131 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter with an ankle injury. Winning six games, thats cool, its cute. But we have to continue to move on. We have bigger things to worry about.That Colorado is even in the discussion for the Pac-12 championship seems far-fetched after the Buffaloes won only one conference game in 2015.MacIntyre isnt too surprised, though, and told his team in the offseason he believed they would be in the running. At a meeting with his players in May, McIntyre discovered the Buffaloes felt the same way.We gelled at that time, MacIntyre said. We were either going to get it done or we werent. And they got it done.Chris Graham kicked a 23-yard field goal with 2:13 remaining following two earlier misses, propelling the Buffaloes to their first win over the Cardinal since joining the Pac-12 in 2011.Colorado (6-2, 4-1) went into the day tied with Utah for first place in the South division and inched one step closer toward a possible berth in the conference title game despite an off day by the offense.The Buffaloes missed three field goals and had a touchdown called back by a pass interference penalty but held the Cardinal to three points while winning for the fourth time in five games. Quarterback Sefo Liufau passed for 135 yards with one touchdown despite being sacked six times.Liufau, one of three seniors starting on offense for Colorado, said the Buffaloes becoming bowl eligible was a reward to the teams older players who stuck it out through the lean years.No one left, no one from my class quit, Liufau said. Its a great feeling. We worked so hard. To see it all come to fruition is a great feeling. Ill remember this season for the rest of my life no matter how it ends.Stanford (4-3, 2-3) failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season despite getting running back Christian McCaffrey back in the lineup. McCaffrey, a 2015 Heisman Trophy finalist, was had 92 yards on 21 carries but was held in check most of the afternoon by Colorados opportunistic defense.The Buffaloes intercepted Stanford quarterback Ryan Burns three times, twice on consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter to stall the Cardinals comeback hopes.At one point late in the first half the home crowd booed Stanford when it ran the ball on a 2nd-and-26 play.If you could see me on TV, I might have been the one booing, Cardinal coach David Shaw said. It was not good enough.THE TAKEAWAYCOLORADO: It wasnt pretty any stretch of the imagination but coach Mike MacIntyre will take the Buffaloes first win against the Cardinal since 1990. Colorado, which has a bye this week, continues to control its own destiny and has a Nov. 26 showdown with Utah looming that could decide which team goes to the Pac-12 title game.STANFORD: The Cardinal have lost three of four and are in danger of missing out on the postseason. Losing to a beefed-up Colorado team shouldnt hurt too much but this was a game Stanford needed to get back on track. Instead, its another loss and another week of pondering what went wrong. Offensively weve got to score more than three points . its as simple as that, Shaw said. There were a lot of things that we have to do better and some things that we have to look into tweaking.POLL IMPLICATIONSColorado is likely to move back into the Top 25 after being knocked out of the rankings earlier this season following its loss to USC.UP NEXTCOLORADO: The Buffaloes host UCLA on Nov. 3 and have put up nearly 1,100 yards of offense combined in the last two meetings with the Bruins but lost both times.STANFORD: The Cardinal play at Arizona next Saturday and have won four straight and nine of the last 11 games against the Wildcats.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.orgDamien Williams Jersey .

JOHNS, N.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Juston Burris first pro pick cost his quarterback his hair.Ryan Fitzpatrick revealed in a radio interview Thursday morning that he needed to cut his stupid hair -- a puffy pompadour -- and made a bet with teammates that the next player to intercept him in practice would get to give him a fresh summer `do.That player, Fitzpatrick told the Boomer & Carton Show on 101.9 WFAN, was Burris.The fourth-round draft pick out of North Carolina State grabbed a floating pass intended for Brandon Marshall on Tuesday and got his first interception of camp -- and sealed the fate of Fitzpatricks `fro.It was right before practice started, Burris said after practice Thursday. We were in stretch line and a couple of the vets made a bet with him, and I just so happened to get it. I was the one to do it.After the interception, Burris went right to safety Rontez Miles, who had set up the bet with Fitzpatrick.We talked about it and we laughed about it, Burris said. I honestly didnt think it really was going to happen, but they called me up in the team meeting (that night) and said I could do it.So, Burris was given some clippers and started shaving through Fitzpatricks fluffy locks.It was terrible, terrible. Bad, a smiling Burris said of his barber skills. He had to go back over it. He had to do his own thing. Im not good with clippers.Burris said a few teammates were ticked off that he was the one to win the haircutting honors.Yeah, they were pretty mad, especially the guys on offense, he said, smiling. They didnt want a rookie to cut their quarterbacks hair.dddddddddddd But, a bet is a bet.So, within a few minutes, all that hair that had Jets camp buzzing was in clumps on the floor.It is gone, but I love his beard, Burris said. Hes got a nice beard. Yeah, I like the beard. He has a cool beard.Burris has seen a lot of action on the field in camp and made a mostly solid impression -- his haircutting skills aside, of course.The 6-foot, 212-pound cornerback was a three-year starter at N.C. State who impressed Jets coach Todd Bowles with his press coverage, making things tough for wide receivers at the line of scrimmage and beyond. His athleticism could help him add depth at both cornerback and safety.The more reps I can get, the better Ill be, he said. With this system and the way we practice, Im getting a lot of reps. So, with every rep, you get better, so Im trying to come out here every practice and get better and never take a step back.The fact the interception came against the starting offense gave Burris a boost.It feels like you can make plays at this level, he said. Thats all I want to do. Ive got that confidence that I can play at this level and that was just reassurance. It was just great to be able to make that play on the 1s.And, Burris wont be switching from defensive back to barber any time soon.No, he said, smiling and shaking his head, definitely not.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
