Which of the following four-star commitments from the past week do you like the best?
- Offensive tackle Li'Marcus Jones. A 6'5", 300-pounder in high school. Jones may not have five-star rating of Jordan Seaton, but he's close. Bringing in talent along the lines is a priority (77%, 43 Votes)
- Wide receiver Jaiden Kelly-Murray. Buff QB recruit Andre Adams has been after Kelly-Murray. Nice to see two four-star recruits looking to play together at CU under Coach Prime in '28 and beyond (16%, 9 Votes)
- Defensive back Gabe Jenkins. His scouting report says it all: 'Should be viewed as a potential difference-maker at the Power Four level across multiple positions in the defensive back five" (7%, 4 Votes)

With a 24-team playoff, would regular season games (like Ohio State/Michigan) be diminished in value?
- Doesn't matter what I think. If there is one certainty in all of the expanded Playoff discussion, it is that the fans are not part of the equation. It's all about the $$$ for schools and networks (63%, 65 Votes)
- No. Even with an expanded Playoff, there would still be much at stake - playoff byes, better seeding, or even a playoff bid. Plus, rivalry games are rivalry games, regardless of stakes (26%, 27 Votes)
- Yes. Instead of rivals playing for a Big Ten championship game berth or a Playoff spot, most seasons both teams would be in the Playoffs, rendering the game meaningless (11%, 12 Votes)

Which of the following barbs between Texas Tech and Texas do you like the best?
- Texas Tech general manager on Texas: “For the longest time they claimed ‘it just means more.’ Now it’s a bunch of excuses (on not playing a home-and-home with Texas Tech)" (33%, 23 Votes)
- Texas coach Steve Sarkisian: “There’s a team in our state that plays in another conference that has a schedule that I would argue if I played with our twos and our threes, we could go undefeated" (33%, 23 Votes)
- Tom Brady on Texas Tech graduate Danny Amendola: "Sometimes you need a kid from a glorified community college who can bail your ass out of any jam". Ouch! (34%, 23 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from CU athletic director Fernando Lovo do you like the best?
- “We’ve got to have a successful football program to be able to help our bottom line, obviously with ticket sales and the other ancillary revenue streams that come off of it" (46%, 36 Votes)
- “We need to develop a culture of giving that can take us to the next level. That’s been well received. We’ve got to capitalize on these next few years so that we’re prepared for whatever is coming" (38%, 30 Votes)
- "We’ve been really aggressive on the naming rights front. I’ve been involved in a number of different pitches, and we’ve got a great thing to sell. We’ve got to capitalize on some of those" (16%, 13 Votes)

Iowa State AD: “Let (the Big Ten/SEC) go, but they have to go in all their sports and see how fun it is to play baseball and track when it’s just the 20 of you"
- The sentiment underscores the frustration most of us have. The NCAA and the College Sports Commission have no teeth, so there are no "guardrails" in place to restrict spending by the Big Two (61%, 63 Votes)
- I like it. The only card the smaller conferences have to play is to refuse to play the Big Ten and SEC if/when they break away. Reduced national games will force the Big Ten and SEC to share (36%, 37 Votes)
- Sounds like sour grapes from an athletic director whose head coach (and many players) bolted for Penn State. Can't say I blame him for the attitude, but it's not a good look (3%, 3 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??? 🙂
