If CU is successful this season (winning record; bowl game) to you what will be the deciding factor?
  • The coaching staff. Coach Prime says this is the best coaching staff he has ever assembled. I'm excited to watch how Brennan Marion's offense takes it to the Big 12 this fall (59%, 17 Votes)
  • The roster. Sure, there are no surefire first round NFL draft picks on the roster, but this may be the deepest team Coach Prime has assembled in Boulder. If Julian Lewis is a five-star QB, CU rolls (24%, 7 Votes)
  • Coach Prime. His health issues were a major factor in CU's decline last spring/summer. He appears to be healthy and motivated, which will go a long ways towards the Buffs posting a winning record (17%, 5 Votes)

Which of these CU's skill position rooms to you will be most important for CU this fall?
  • Neither. It all comes down to Julian Lewis. If Lewis excels, the wide receivers will be a threat, and that will open up the running game. If Lewis is only average ... it could be a long season (77%, 74 Votes)
  • The running back room. There are plenty of names, but no break out stars - yet. That being said, Brennan Marion's Go-Go offense is centered on a powerful running attack, so they need to perform (21%, 20 Votes)
  • The wide receiver room. Omarion Miller may be gone, but Danny Scudero and DeAndre Moore are in the house. It will be fun to watch this talented room (once again) exceed expectations (2%, 2 Votes)

WR Danny Scudero and LB Gideon Lampron listed on ESPN's list of Top 100 newcomers. Thoughts?
  • Fine, but it's certainly more difficult to swallow noting CU's top incoming players are rated No. 35 and No. 92, while two Buffs CU lost are rated No. 5 (Seaton) and No. 33 (Miller) on the list (38%, 32 Votes)
  • I hope this list is posted in the CU locker room and weight room, giving Buffs motivation to prove the pundits wrong about the status of the CU roster (35%, 30 Votes)
  • Nice. Good to see that there is some recognition for a pair of Buff transfers. This just in: CU will be better this fall than most prognosticators are giving them credit for (27%, 23 Votes)

Athlon Sports has CU rated as the No. 14 team in the Big 12, and No. 64 nationally. Thoughts?
  • I'm still wondering how Oklahoma State (No. 8; No. 36) and West Virginia (No. 10; No. 50), with roster turnover significantly greater than CU's, are consistently ranked higher (55%, 73 Votes)
  • It's now June, so the preseason magazines will be coming out. My advice to Buff fans - ignore them, as they will all sing the same song of despair for your Buffs (34%, 45 Votes)
  • Not that being ranked 14th in a 16-team conference is anything to celebrate, but the Buffs, at No. 64, are right behind No. 62 Baylor and No. 63 Cincinnati. Easy for the Buffs to move up (11%, 15 Votes)

Which of the following announcements from the Big 12 do you feel is the most significant?
  • Becoming the first conference to have all of its teams sign on to the College Sports Commission. Until there is some agreement on uniform enforcement, chaos will reign (56%, 57 Votes)
  • Creation of a Replay Operations Center for in-game replay reviews. I especially like the announcement that there will be audio - so fans will know what is going on with replay reviews (26%, 27 Votes)
  • Support for the 24-team playoff. Looking back to 2014, 15-of-16 Big 12 teams would have made the CFP (Kansas the lone exception), so it's no surprise that the Big 12 would like an expanded playoff (18%, 18 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.

    SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.

  2. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
