Which of the following news items today to you was the most noteworthy?
- The commitment from Alabama four-star defensive lineman Emanuel Ruffin. A great pickup from SEC country, and you can never have enough quality players in the trenches (47%, 89 Votes)
- Coach Prime's announcing that offensive linemen Jordan Seaton and Zy Crisler will be available this weekend. With a strong BYU defense coming to town, having the line in tact will be important (41%, 78 Votes)
- That Oklahoma State fired head coach Mike Gundy. Yes, it was inevitable, but the timing is strange ... and the $15 million buyout is pretty steep. We'll see how the Cowboys do the rest of the season (12%, 21 Votes)

After a third of the season, CU sits at 2-2. What record do you currently project for the Buffs in 2025?
- Five or six wins. Like much of the past decade, the Buffs will get to five wins, flirting with six wins and bowl eligibility. It's a pick 'em as to whether the Buffs get to six wins and a bowl (55%, 113 Votes)
- Four wins or less. The next three games are against bowl teams, then on the road against Utah. This stretch could kill the Buffs' confidence, and their chance at going to a bowl this fall (25%, 50 Votes)
- Seven wins or more. The CU offense is clicking under Kaidon Salter (37 points - with a red zone turnover and a blocked FG). This team will keep getting better, and win enough games to go bowling (20%, 41 Votes)

CU opens as a 6.5-point home underdog to No. 25 BYU (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN). Thoughts?
- Anyone else notice that BYU has given up only one touchdown (and only 13 points total) in three games? This is going to be a tough game. I foresee the Cougars pulling away late (45%, 86 Votes)
- The Buffs played better against Wyoming, but the Cowboys are not a good team. The crowd and Kaidon Salter will keep this close, but I'm not picking the Buffs to win the game outright (41%, 78 Votes)
- I guess the oddsmakers didn't stay up late Saturday night. CU got its wake up call against Houston, and will bring momentum to Folsom Saturday night. I can definitely see CU winning this game (14%, 28 Votes)

Colorado 37, Wyoming 20. Thoughts?
- After a tough September, a Saturday with a CU win, pluses losses by Nebraska, Colorado State, and Utah? A nice day. Let's soak it in, and worry about BYU in a few days (36%, 84 Votes)
- A good game for the Buffs and their fans. Kaidon Salter solidified his QB1 status, and the Buffs made plays (downfield!) to keep Wyoming at arm's length most of the evening (35%, 81 Votes)
- The final score is deceiving. The Buff defense couldn't close things out against a team which scored seven points against Utah. Enjoy the win, Buff fans ... It might be awhile before the next one (29%, 67 Votes)

It's time. Your prediction for Colorado v. Wyoming (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- The Buffs will win, but, as was the case for a good piece of the Delaware game, the Buffs will make their fans nervous. A win is a win, but this may not be a blowout (42%, 69 Votes)
- Anyone who watched the Houston game has to be worried about this game. The Cowboys will be fired up for this game. I hope the Buffs play with a sense of urgency ... or they could lose (29%, 48 Votes)
- A nice - perhaps for the final time this fall - easy win. The Buffs have struggled, but they won't against the Cowboys. CU takes down Wyoming in a big way (29%, 47 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??? 🙂
