FanDuel has CU's over/under win total projection at 4.5 wins - lowest in the Big 12. Thoughts?
- About right, I'm afraid. You can't take a 3-9 team (with a 1-8 Big 12 record), flush out all but 3-4 starters, and hope for a quick turnaround. Hard to admit, but a 4- or 5-win season is an upgrade (65%, 13 Votes)
- Too low. Pundits are underestimating Coach Prime, and, more importantly, Coach Marion and quarterback Julian Lewis. This is a bowl team, at minimum. Take the over on your Buffs (25%, 5 Votes)
- This is on the CU administration. If the non-conference schedule didn't have two Power Four teams (both on the road), but two G-6 teams at home, the over/under total would be higher (10%, 2 Votes)

Big Ten asks the NCAA to pause "investigations and infractions proceedings" related to tampering. Thoughts??
- We'll see where this goes. If the letter had with it a legitimate reform proposal to put in place, I might listen. But "don't punish us now, we'll fix it later" is not a solution (57%, 48 Votes)
- Wow. I thought saying: "Everybody's doing it, so I shouldn't be punished for being caught" stopped being a legitimate defense back in first grade. Can't believe the gall (32%, 27 Votes)
- Sad to say, but this actually is defensible. If saying "If you're not tampering, you're so far behind in the game" is true, then random enforcement is a waste of everyone's time (11%, 9 Votes)

If offered, should the CU men's team (17-15, 7-11) accept a post-season tournament offer?
- Yes. This team is loaded with talented freshmen. Allowing them additional practices (and additional bonding time, which might help keep them together) is vital. A tournament run could help CU grow (60%, 83 Votes)
- It depends. If CU were to be invited to be invited to the NIT (unlikely), fine. But if CU isn't even in the Top 100 (NCAA: 68: NIT 32) nationally, it's time to put the uniforms away (32%, 44 Votes)
- No. Last year's team (14-20, 3-17) played in something the College Basketball Crown tournament, and were embarrassed with an 85-64 loss to Villanova. The season's over, let it rest in peace (8%, 12 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from running backs coach Johnnie Mack do you like the best?
- On the "Go-Go" offense: "If you're not excited for this, I don't know what else to tell you. This Go-Go offense is built for running backs" (75%, 82 Votes)
- "Our guys have been working their tails off all offseason. Pound for pound we're probably some of the strongest guys in the weight room" (17%, 18 Votes)
- On taking over for Marshall Faulk: "It was a blessing in disguise. I've been working for a long time to get this opportunity. I always felt like I was ready, but it was God's timing" (8%, 9 Votes)

Which of the following rooms do you think is the strongest on the CU roster?
- Wide receivers. There may not be great height in the room, but there is speed to burn. The Buffs seem to be three-deep at all three wide receiver positions. Sharing the ball may be the biggest issue (73%, 88 Votes)
- Quarterbacks. Julian Lewis is a five-star player with a tremendous upside. I also believe having Isaac Wilson, who has P4 playing experience, is good to have as a backup (16%, 19 Votes)
- Defensive backs. CU has some keepers at cornerback, including Justin Eaglin, and the safety room, with Boo Carter included, could be very solid for the defense this fall (11%, 13 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??? 🙂
