Athlon Sports has CU rated as the No. 14 team in the Big 12, and No. 64 nationally. Thoughts?
  • 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 (50%, 1 Votes)
  • 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 (50%, 1 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 (0%, 0 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)

Texas Tech offers to take on Texas in Game One, with both teams buying out contracts with lesser opponents. Thoughts?
  • I just like the fact that Tech called out Texas coach Sark for bashing Tech and the Big 12. Put up or shut up, Longhorns! Not that I'm a fan of Texas Tech, but this is a fun moment for the Big 12 (61%, 49 Votes)
  • This is a great idea. The television audience for this grudge match would be huge, especially when compared to Texas Tech/Abilene Christian and Texas/Texas State. Make it happen! (23%, 18 Votes)
  • Never gonna happen. Too many logistical issues, including tickets already sold, network contracts to be honored, etc. Hopefully, it will spark a renewal of the rivalry, but it won't be anytime soon (16%, 13 Votes)

Commissioner Brett Yormark: Big 12 could go to ten conference games if a 24-game playoff is instituted. Thoughts?
  • Not an issue, at least for the foreseeable future. The SEC has to agree to a 24-team playoff first, and all indications are that the SEC has no current interest in playoff expansion (49%, 35 Votes)
  • I like it. It would give teams a more balanced schedule (five Big 12 home games; five road games), and more interesting matchups in the early season (and give Texas Tech a real schedule) (31%, 22 Votes)
  • Not a big fan. Until or unless CU gets off the "play a tougher non-conference school than anyone else" train, adding another conference game just adds another potential loss (20%, 15 Votes)

First thoughts on the Protect College Sports Act
  • Perhaps parts of the bill - five years of eligibility; creation of a national NIL rule; enforceable rules on transfers - may make it through to law. It's a start, but then again, it's Congress (62%, 46 Votes)
  • Let me put it this way ... Dead on Arrival. There are too many variables, and too many stakeholders, to believe that any significant headway will be made. No need to pay any attention to this bill (20%, 15 Votes)
  • Nice to get a bi-partisan bill introduced in Congress. Many potential controversial issues, but at least someone has put pen to paper. Let the dissections begin (18%, 13 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??? 🙂
