Rate your level of concern that the spring official visit window has closed with CU's Recruiting Class of 2026 having only two members
  • Low. Signing Day is still in December, right? CU only had a handful of commitments last spring, but still wound up with the Big 12's third-best class (with eight four stars in a Class of 14) (47%, 70 Votes)
  • Medium. CU has had small freshman classes under Coach Prime, but there were a number of high-profile recruits in Boulder the past few weekends, and CU got commitments from none of them (33%, 50 Votes)
  • High. Every other Big 12 team has at least eight recruits, with 13 of 15 in double digits (and 8 with 15 or more). Coach Prime's (still unexplained) medical absence is costing CU dearly (20%, 30 Votes)

Would you be in favor of converting Week 0 into Week One, and adding a week to the schedule?
  • Yes. Especially if it would give CU (and everyone else) a second bye week every season. With the season getting longer and longer, working the schedule backwards makes sense (47%, 75 Votes)
  • Depends. If it will help CU to have a second bye week, it might be a good thing, but a game in late August could be pretty warm, so I have mixed emotions ... (28%, 45 Votes)
  • No. The season is long enough as it is, and having games before Labor Day weekend is not a good look. College football should resist this temptation to expand the season even longer (25%, 39 Votes)

Louisiana to tax sports betting to give to schools to off-set revenue sharing. Thoughts?
  • If the Colorado state legislature did this, I wouldn't mind it a bit. Rick George needs to think outside the box if CU is going to keep up (perhaps starting with stadium naming rights) (63%, 67 Votes)
  • Nothing like the rich getting richer. Anyone see the need for LSU to hold a bake sale to balance its budget? SEC money and sold out stadiums, and LSU needs an extra check from the state? Yuck (22%, 23 Votes)
  • A great idea. Adding an extra tax on the fan base, and using the funds to help schools with a new source of revenue, makes sense. Schools are going to need to be creative in revenue generation (15%, 16 Votes)

Does it matter to you whether SEC teams play eight or nine conference games?
  • Yes. All of the Power Four conference teams should be on a level playing field when CFP bids are considered. November wins over Mercer shouldn't be part of the equation (77%, 114 Votes)
  • Doesn't matter. When a team like CU is up against an SEC team for a CFP bid, the "strength of schedule" argument is always going to go to the SEC team, regardless of overall records (18%, 26 Votes)
  • No. When you consider the number of ranked teams the SEC cranks out (and the funding they have to create those teams), it makes sense that they don't automatically include one more tough game (5%, 8 Votes)

Texas State the odds-on favorite to become the eighth football school in the new "Pac-8". Thoughts?
  • Fine, but it won't move the needle in terms of network contract money. Anyone staying up late for Texas State at Fresno State or Colorado State at Utah State? Thought not. (56%, 81 Votes)
  • Makes sense. Gives the new conference a foothold in Texas, as well as a team playing in the Central time zone. The Bobcats are a sensible choice (after being shunned by UNLV, Air Force, Memphis, etc.) (24%, 35 Votes)
  • Not that anyone is paying attention to CSU (nice to be able to completely ignore the Lambs until 2029), but you know they are crowing about their new "path to the College Football Playoff" (20%, 28 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??? 🙂
