What is your way-too-early projection for Colorado football in 2026?
  • A 5-to-6 win season. There will improvement, especially if Julian Lewis returns. Better (new) assistant coaches, along with good retention from the current roster, will give the Buffs a boost (37%, 65 Votes)
  • Seven or more wins. If Coach Prime can bring in solid assistants, keep most of this roster, and avoid all of the injuries, it's not hard to see this team jumping back into contention in the Big 12 (35%, 61 Votes)
  • Another 3-to-4 win season. A small Recruiting Class, a likely stampede out the door, and no guarantees of new coaches or stars. Hard to see this ship turning on a dime and improving (28%, 48 Votes)

Kansas State 24, Colorado 14. Thoughts?
  • The 2026 season begins now. Which coaches will be replaced? Which players will stick around? Coach Prime needs to go to work tomorrow on building the 2026 roster ... or the losses will continue (72%, 191 Votes)
  • A loss is a loss is a loss. No way to spin a 3-9 season, with a five-game losing streak to finish out, as anything but a disaster. Not seeing anything to build on from this loss (16%, 42 Votes)
  • You can't build a program on moral victories, but this team didn't quit. There is still some fight in this roster and in this locker room. A decent end to a lousy season (12%, 32 Votes)

It's time. Your prediction for the 2025 season finale: Colorado at Kansas State (Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, FS1)
  • This is going to be (another) embarrassing rout. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 35-0 at halftime, with Ryan Staub coming in to play in the second half (to throw more interceptions) (61%, 62 Votes)
  • The forecast is for 36-degrees at kickoff, with rain showers. Hopefully, both teams will want to get the game over quickly, allowing the Buffs to stay within the spread of 17.5-points (23%, 23 Votes)
  • "Nothing so dangerous as a team with nothing to lose". The Buffs - especially Kaidon Salter - have one last chance to make a good impression. Why not, Buffs? CU in an upset (16%, 16 Votes)

Which of the following Big 12 games this weekend for you holds the most interest?
  • No Big 12 games this weekend interest me, frankly. The Buffs are 15th in a 16th team league, and are three-score underdogs in their finale. I'm going to watch games which actually mean something (64%, 49 Votes)
  • No. 25 Arizona at No. 20 Arizona State ... Friday, 7:00 p.m., Fox ... The Territorial Cup is all about bragging rights for 2026, in a game between two good teams (29%, 22 Votes)
  • No. 5 Texas Tech at West Virginia ... Saturday, 10:00 a.m., ESPN. The Red Raiders control their destiny to the Big 12 title game, and the playoffs. Texas Tech can't afford a stumble this late (7%, 6 Votes)

Rate your level of interest in the season finale against Kansas State (Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, FS1)
  • Low. If the Buffs have checked out, why shouldn't I? Kaidon Salter will start, and CU is using offensive linemen at defensive tackle. I have better things to do that to track a rout in the making (43%, 64 Votes)
  • High. Buff born; Buff bred; Buff fan until I'm dead. There are only 12 CU Saturdays a season, and I am with my Buffs come Hell or high water, and that includes this Saturday (36%, 54 Votes)
  • Medium. I reserve the right to pay closer attention to the Ohio State/Michigan game, but I will be tracking the CU game ... with hope of having reason to watch in the second half (21%, 30 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??? 🙂
