Against which of the following top Big 12 teams do the Buffs have the best chance at winning?
  • October 17th v. Utah. Kyle Whittingham is off to Michigan, taking with him key players and coaches. The Utes are about to begin a slow slide back to mediocrity - and CU will help (75%, 6 Votes)
  • November 13th v. Houston. It will be a short week for the Cougars, with a late (9:15 p.m., CT) kickoff. Oh, and perhaps the mid-November Boulder weather will help keep the Buffs in the game (25%, 2 Votes)
  • October 3rd v. Texas Tech. The Red Raiders will be without Brendan Sorsby. The Buffs will be the first Big 12 road game for the Red Raiders, and the Buffs will be ready for the villains of the Big 12 (0%, 0 Votes)

CU rated as having one of the "oldest" rosters in the Power Four. Thoughts?
  • Not really that big a deal. The difference is cumulative ages is just a fraction of a fraction between teams. Number of career games and career snaps matters more than chronological age (57%, 44 Votes)
  • I like it. What did Curt Cignetti say about his philosophy for Indiana: "Get old and stay old"? It's taken Coach Prime some time to figure out, but experience does matter (30%, 23 Votes)
  • Wait a second ... With Coach Prime not being interested in high school recruiting, you would have thought CU would have had one of the oldest teams every year ... and that hasn't worked out so well (13%, 10 Votes)

How would you rate Ezra Christensen's chances of winning his lawsuit against the NCAA and playing for CU this fall?
  • Medium. On its face, Christensen may face an uphill battle, as he has already played four seasons with at least ten games. But all he needs is a preliminary injunction, so this might well work out (48%, 63 Votes)
  • Low. This is CU, right? When was the last time the Buffs caught a break? CU really needs Christensen, so, naturally, even a judge in Boulder won't find in favor of a Buff (37%, 48 Votes)
  • High. Players have had a great deal of success in taking on the NCAA. Surprised it took this long to get the lawsuit filed, but the NCAA, not surprisingly never acted on Christensen's case (15%, 19 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from offensive coordinator Brennan Marion do you find to e the most eyebrow raising?
  • "Offensive line-wise, we’re better than we were at Texas. We’re bigger. We’re more physical. This will be the best offensive line that I’ve ever had" (89%, 101 Votes)
  • “JuJu is about at the same point where Quinn (Ewers) was at then (in his second year of college) ... That dude has an NFL arm for sure. He can really throw the ball" (11%, 12 Votes)
  • CU is about the same receiver-wise as what he had at Texas: "I think we have four or five NFL receivers here" (0%, 1 Votes)

Colorado and Baylor are the only Big 12 underdogs for Week One. This tells me ...
  • That Colorado and Baylor are the only teams brave enough to schedule a Power Four opener away from home. These teams will be rewarded with valuable experience going into the rest of the season (51%, 41 Votes)
  • That 2027 can't get here fast enough. Next fall CU will be one of those teams with all three non-conference games at home, including games against Colgate and Northern Illinois (29%, 23 Votes)
  • That the rest of the Big 12 should be ashamed. Nine Big 12 teams open at home against teams from the FCS (or lower). Cupcakes shouldn't count in the "W" column - that would stop the nonsense (20%, 16 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??? 🙂
