CBS Sports has CU's best case scenario at 8-4; worst case scenario at 5-7. Thoughts?
- Probably realistic. CU has much to prove without Travis and Shedeur, with at least a half dozen toss up games. Most CU fans would probably have the Buffs in the range of 5-7 to 8-4 (51%, 61 Votes)
- I'm just enjoying watching the floor for CU continue to rise. Last season, and certainly before Prime, the "worst case" usually had CU in the 2-10 range. The floor has been raised (34%, 41 Votes)
- Waaaay too low on the high end. Did anyone at CBS Sports take note that CU finished with nine wins last year? Just another preseason clickbait story to ignore (15%, 18 Votes)

Illinois & Missouri become the latest teams to cancel future non-conference games. Should CU cancel future series with Florida and Missouri?
- No, because CU is the school of "To be the best, you have to play the best". You can't have a Coach Mac statue watching games against Georgia State and Mercer (69%, 104 Votes)
- Actually, yes. If other teams are going to dumb down their schedules, it doesn't make sense for CU to schedule tougher non-conference games (19%, 29 Votes)
- No. The only home game CU has failed to sell out in Coach Prime's first two seasons was the North Dakota State game. CU can't afford to have unattractive non-conference games (12%, 17 Votes)

CU signs naming rights deal with BOK Financial for the Byron White Stadium Club. Thoughts?
- This is good news. Anytime CU can monetize any part of the facilities or athletic department, it's a win. With new budget additions ($20.5M for revenue sharing), every new revenue stream helps (55%, 28 Votes)
- Glad to hear about the naming rights deal, but no figures were disclosed. How much is the naming rights to the Stadium Club actually worth, when few fans ever get to see the Club? (27%, 14 Votes)
- All this does is raise - make that re-raise - the issue of stadium naming rights. Every season which goes by without a deal is hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions?) not received. (18%, 9 Votes)

Four-star cornerback Preston Ashley commits to CU. Thoughts?
- A four-star with two dozen Power Four offers? This is what we've been waiting for - I hope that this is the start of a wave of commitments from the star recruits who have visited the past month (52%, 107 Votes)
- I love Ashley's quote: "My main takeaway was this is the place for me, and that if I want to make it to the NFL, CU is the place". Get that out to all of the Class of '26 prospects! (33%, 67 Votes)
- A nice pickup, but I'm going to temper my enthusiasm. Just as we can't be worried about other schools' commitments in June, we can't count on anything for CU until Signing Day in December (15%, 32 Votes)

Pac-12 announces a contract extension with CBS Sports for the 2026-31 seasons. Thoughts?
- I'm just going to go out on a limb here, and say that the CU/CSU games in 2030 in Boulder will be one of the three national CBS games that season ... and CSU's only national game the next six years (48%, 50 Votes)
- Glad to see Washington State and Oregon State at least found a landing spot. Not great, but at least they didn't have to go independent, or join the Mountain West (35%, 36 Votes)
- Wow. A grand total of three football games nationally televised on CBS ... with everything else relegated to CBS Sports network (or lesser partners). You'll need a telescope to find CSU games (17%, 18 Votes)

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.
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??? 🙂
