Which of the following games for you rates as your favorite of the 2020s (to date)?
- The 36-14 win over Nebraska. Fox Big Noon Saturday and a rout of the Cornhuskers on national television. As Coach Mac would say: "It doesn't get any better than this" (56%, 58 Votes)
- The 45-42 win over No. 17 TCU in the 2023 season opener. No one knew what to make of the Buffs with a completely new team, but Coach Prime & Co. stunned the nation with a huge win (32%, 33 Votes)
- The 38-31 overtime win over Baylor. Down 24-10 in the second quarter, the Buffs rallied to tie the score on a Hail Mary on the final play, with Travis Hunter preserving the win in overtime (12%, 12 Votes)

An early projected 76-team field for the 2027 NCAA men's basketball tournament doesn't include CU. Thoughts?
- My hope would be that AD Fernando Lovo is checking out the projections for basketball (and football), and see that the time is now to get more dollars in the coffers (and better players on the teams) (49%, 35 Votes)
- Not worried. March Madness is what, ten months away? Waaay too early to start projecting (or worrying) about what the NCAA tournament field will look like. Ignore and move on (30%, 21 Votes)
- Not a good look. When you get a tournament projection which includes ten teams from the Big 12 ... but not Colorado? Tough to be a Buff (again) (21%, 15 Votes)

If CU finishes with a 5-7 record this fall, and is invited to play in a bowl game, should CU accept?
- Yes. CU has been to four bowl games in the past 20 years, and lost all four. The Buffs - and their fans - deserve to have some positive momentum a bowl bid would represent (52%, 51 Votes)
- It would depend. If the Buffs finished the season with some momentum (after a tough first half schedule), or were battling injuries, I could see the advantages of playing in a bowl game (32%, 32 Votes)
- No. Even if the Buffs won the game (unlikely, since they would go going against a team with a winning record), the Buffs would still finish with a losing season. Give up the season and focus on 2027 (16%, 16 Votes)

What aspect of the expanded NCAA fields do you like the best?
- Nothing. There is nothing about having 76 teams play which is good. Get ready for teams which finished 9th or 10th in the Big Ten and SEC lobbying for inclusion. March Madness was great: This isn't (70%, 55 Votes)
- That my team, which often seems to be on the outside looking in, will have a better chance of making it to March Madness ... or at least have more meaningful games in February and early March (28%, 22 Votes)
- Instead of eight teams playing in four games in Dayton for a chance to advance, there will now be 24 teams playing in 12 such games (including out west). The more the merrier! (2%, 2 Votes)

Which of the following CBS Sports bowl projections do you think is the most likely to actually happen?
- That Colorado will not make a bowl game. CU will have to double its win total from last season to go bowling, and it's hard to see the 2026 team as being twice as good as last year's team (41%, 31 Votes)
- That Texas Tech is the Big 12's lone CFP participant, and does not receive a first round bye. The Big 12 has several good teams, but no great ones. The Big 12 won't get two participants in the CFP (36%, 27 Votes)
- That Oklahoma State will go from 1-11 to a bowl bid. This is what happens when you hire a coach who can bring along an All-Conference level quarterback and several quality skill position players (23%, 18 Votes)

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.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
