College Football News: CU has the 6th-most difficult schedule in the Big 12th (44th nationally). Thoughts?
- Not sure that this type of compilation means that much anymore. It's based upon last season's records, and every team has so much turnover each off-season that 2025 records aren't good predictors (52%, 13 Votes)
- My first thought: CU really hurt its chances at success this season by being the only Power Four school with two non-conference road games against Power Four teams. Sigh. (32%, 8 Votes)
- Actually not as bad as thought. CU usually has one of the most difficult schedules in the country. Sad to see, though, that Texas Tech has such as easy schedule (128th nationally) (16%, 4 Votes)

Brendan Sorsby withdraws his complaint against the NCAA, will apply for NFL Supplemental Draft. Thoughts?
- The best solution for all involved. Too bad it took a week of posturing and name-calling to get to the conclusion which should have been drawn two months ago (56%, 59 Votes)
- I'm actually sorry that this didn't drag out a longer. Texas Tech was doing such a good job of making enemies and screwing themselves. It would have been nice to watch that go on a little longer (42%, 45 Votes)
- We'll see how it works out. Sorsby may have been a first round pick if he had played a final year. He'll get drafted in a lower round ... and have to be solaced by the $6 million in unearned funds (2%, 2 Votes)

What do you like best about the Big 12's lawsuit against Texas Tech?
- The Declaratory Judgment request. Asking, in advance, that the Big 12 be judicially recognized as having power to punish its members (which should go without saying), it a great preemptive move (53%, 48 Votes)
- That Texas Tech and the Texas AG shot themselves in the foot with their pompous rhetoric. The Big 12 wouldn't have been able to file the lawsuit the way it was filed if Tech had just shut up (38%, 34 Votes)
- The Injunction request. Asking the Court to preclude Texas Tech from filing any (frivolous) lawsuits in (friendly) state courts is a shrewd move (9%, 8 Votes)

CU adds three new recruits to the Recruiting Class of 2027, bringing CU's total to 17. Thoughts?
- Glad to see Coach Prime and his staff emphasizing the lines. CU has been getting killed in the trenches the past few years, so having nine of 17 recruits be linemen is refreshing (55%, 56 Votes)
- This is getting fun. Glad to see CU in the Top 40 in the nation in high school recruiting, and in the Top five of the Big 12. Small steps back to having a normal roster again (35%, 35 Votes)
- Nice to see CU's body count going up, but are the Buffs adding quality? Two of the last seven commitments came from players who aren't even rated by the services. Quality, coaches, not quantity (10%, 10 Votes)

If you were the Big 12, who would you deal with the Brendan Sorsby situation?
- I would suspend Sorsby for the season. The Big 12 wasn't a party to the NCAA lawsuit, and has separate by-laws to govern dealing with players. This is a no-brainer. Stand up to the madness! (78%, 144 Votes)
- I would take it to Texas Tech directly. If boycotting games sounds impractical, the Big 12 could withhold funds or prohibit Tech from playing in the title game. Hit Tech in the pocketbook! (15%, 27 Votes)
- I would do nothing. Texas Tech and Sorsby have made themselves into the villains of college football. See how well that works in the next round of realignment. Win the battle, Tech, and lose the war! (7%, 14 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??? 🙂
