Lindy's sees Colorado as the No. 41 team in the nation
  • All I know ... CU was No. 71 in Lindy's last year, and that turned out okay for the Buffs (48%, 88 Votes)
  • Ridiculously low. Buffs once again placed below two 4-8 teams (UCLA and Oregon) (37%, 68 Votes)
  • About right. If the predictions are right, CU will be 7-5 and bowl bound (15%, 29 Votes)

Street and Smith's has CU third in Pac-12 South, with a Sun Bowl bid
  • About right. A winning record, and an interesting bowl game against Miami? I'll take it (44%, 77 Votes)
  • Too low. Utah finishing above CU in the Pac-12 South? I don't see it (35%, 62 Votes)
  • I'm not interested in preseason magazine predictions ... CU is undefeated until proven otherwise! (21%, 38 Votes)

CU has fourth-highest annual debt service in the Pac-12
  • Not concerned. Rick George has better control of the CU budget than any AD in memory (63%, 132 Votes)
  • Somewhat concerned. It would be nicer if CU wasn't so high on the list in the conference (32%, 68 Votes)
  • Very concerned. With the Pac-12 lagging in media revenues, CU's long-term debt is a real concern (5%, 11 Votes)

  • No. 4 Washington - Huskies also lost 3/4 of its secondary to the NFL, yet went up in rankings (19%, 46 Votes)
  • No. 17 Stanford - Without McCaffrey, the Cardinal will slip in 2017 (10%, 25 Votes)
  • No. 5 USC - Trojans will under-achieve .. again (6%, 12 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
