It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at Utah (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- In case you didn't notice, the Buffs just knocked off what AP considered to be the No. 22 team in the country. It's going to take some breaks, but I can see the Buffs winning this game (44%, 17 Votes)
- Utah is in the top ten in rushing offense; CU is in the bottom ten in rushing defense. It's not hard to see why Utah is a two-touchdown favorite. Find something better to do Saturday night (28%, 11 Votes)
- Iowa State had 441 yards of total offense, but scored only 17 points. I can see the Buffs keeping it (agonizingly) close, but it's hard to see CU winning this game on the road (28%, 11 Votes)

Which of the following Big 12 games this weekend to you is the most interesting?
- Houston at No. 24 Arizona State (6:00 p.m., MT, ESPN2). Two teams with 3-1 Big 12 records. One will emerge as a Big 12 title contender; the other may be out of the running (47%, 72 Votes)
- No. 11 BYU at Iowa State (1:30 p.m., MT, Fox). Iowa State was an early season contender, while BYU was starting a freshman QB. Now the Cougars are in the driver's seat for the title; ISU is 2-2 (44%, 68 Votes)
- Baylor at No. 21 Cincinnati (2:00 p.m., MT, ESPN2). The Bearcats are 6-1, 4-0 in Big 12 play. With each successive victory, Cincinnati is looking more and more like a title contender (9%, 13 Votes)

Utah quarterback Devon Dampier "beat up", and may miss the CU game. Thoughts?
- I don't think it will make much difference ... because I'm not buying it will happen. I need to see how Dampier is listed on the availability chart Wednesday night before I'll believe the story (50%, 77 Votes)
- I don't think it will make much difference ... because Utah is 8th in the nation in rushing, and has two running backs (in addition to Dampier) with more rushing yards than any Buff (27%, 41 Votes)
- This could be huge. Dampier is not only having a good season at quarterback, but he is Utah's leading rusher. If CU is going to pull off an upset, the Buffs need breaks like this (23%, 35 Votes)

CU opens as a 13.5-road underdog to Utah (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN). Thoughts?
- Utah runs the ball (8th in the country). CU cannot stop the run (118th in the country). Full stop. Utah runs all over the Buffs, with a runaway victory come midnight Saturday (39%, 86 Votes)
- I can see this as being a tough game with both offenses struggling to score points. I'm afraid Utah will have more horses, and pull out the win, but not by two touchdowns (35%, 76 Votes)
- Buffs are coming off of a bye week, and playing with some confidence after the Iowa State win. Utah is coming off of a tough, physical rivalry loss to BYU. Buffs catch Utes on a down week - CU wins! (26%, 56 Votes)

What grade would you give to the CU offense for first half of the season?
- A C ... While the rushing numbers have improved, the passing game has suffered. There have been good moments, and bad ones. This is a mediocre offense at present, and deserves a mediocre grade (60%, 117 Votes)
- A D ... CU is 89th in total offense; 90th in scoring offense. The Buffs are only averaging 25 points per game ... 21.2 against Power Four teams. You are going to win games with those numbers (33%, 64 Votes)
- A B ... The Buffs have found a running game (at last!), and the number of sacks have been reduced dramatically. Salter and the skill position players are figuring things out ... it's coming together (7%, 15 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??? 🙂
