Tad Boyle: "If it's their first time on the stage and it's not yours, it can be an advantage. It really can"
  • Since it's unlikely that CU will be playing deep into the tournament, I guess I'm not too upset about the Buffs getting a chance to pick up a win, then take on a wounded Florida team on Friday (55%, 41 Votes)
  • Disagree. This is just coach-speak. If given the option, I'd bet that Coach Boyle would much rather not have to play his first tournament game until Thursday or Friday (31%, 23 Votes)
  • Agree. Getting a play-in game can be an advantage. We've seen it work against Pac-12 teams with a bye in the conference tournament (14%, 10 Votes)

CU men earn a No. 10 seed, will play in Indianapolis in a "play-in" on Wednesday against Boise State. Thoughts?
  • Sad to see that CU was one of the last four in. I thought the CU resume was good enough to get the Buffs in as a No. 9 or No. 10 (without a play-in). Damn "bid stealers" made for a stressful Sunday (42%, 107 Votes)
  • Whew! So glad to see the Buffs make the Big Dance. It's been a stressful "lose once and your out" past few weeks. It was a great run to the Pac-12 title game. Congratulations, Buffs! (30%, 75 Votes)
  • I just think it's funny that CU ended up higher in the bracket than CSU or Oregon. Also glad that the Buffs get an extra day of rest, and don't have to play until Wednesday (28%, 72 Votes)

Which of the following news items over the next few days to you will be the most worthy of your attention?
  • Selection Sunday, men's edition (4:00 p.m., MT). Where will the Buffs be seeded (barring some unexplainable bubble bursting)? Where will they be playing, and who will be the opponent? (70%, 151 Votes)
  • First day of spring practices (Monday morning, Champions Center). With all due respect to basketball, I'm ready to see my football team back in action! (22%, 48 Votes)
  • Selection Sunday, women's edition (6:00 p.m., MT). The women are in, but they are between a four seed (home for two games) and a five seed (on the road, with a potential true road game in Round Two) (8%, 17 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from graduate transfer tight end Sam Hart (two years of eligibility remaing). Thoughts?
  • Where the Buffs are now, they need to take some flyers on potential stars. Hart will have plenty to prove, and plenty to play for coming home to Colorado to play. Worth the risk to bring him in (54%, 126 Votes)
  • Nice to get a new tight end, but let's be realistic. Hart was with Ohio State for three years, with a grand total of 35 snaps and no catches. Much for Mr. Hart to prove (24%, 56 Votes)
  • A former four-star recruit with two dozen Power Five offers out of high school? And in a position of dire need? And a local boy (Aurora)? ove it. Welcome, Mr. Hart! (22%, 53 Votes)

Payout for 14-team playoff amounts agreed to, with the Big 12 receiving the smallest payout. Thoughts?
  • Remember this is just the payout for the College Football Playoff. Add in huge difference in regular season media payouts .... and it's clear that the end of any sense of parity is upon us (77%, 120 Votes)
  • It's not the difference between the ACC ($13-$14 million per school) and the Big 12 ($12 million), it's the discrepancy between the Big 12 and the SEC/Big Ten ($22 million per school) (15%, 23 Votes)
  • Makes sense. The Big 12 has produced the smallest number of playoff teams, so gets the smallest payout. At least there is a clause allowing for bigger payouts with improved performance (8%, 13 Votes)

  1. 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!!

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

  3. 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??? 🙂
