• A "B" ... The Champions Center and the hiring of Coach Prime are home runs (and the basketball teams are doing well), but two winning seasons for the football team in ten years can't be ignored (58%, 154 Votes)
• An "A" ... Two words: "Champions Center". CU hadn't raised $15 million in a year - George raised $105 million in three years. CU would be in relegation territory without the upgrade in facilities (25%, 66 Votes)
• A "C" ... Two winning seasons in ten football seasons? A Pac-12 afterthought? If this poll was taken eight months ago, the grade would be a "D" or an "F". Fingers crossed for a quick rebound (17%, 46 Votes)

• Chip Kelly, UCLA ... It won't happen this year, but the Bruins are going to be - pardon the phrase - out of their league in the Big Ten. It won't be long until Kelly retires ... or is shown the door (56%, 106 Votes)
• Jonathan Smith, Oregon State ... The Beavers are also overachievers, but Smith is proving himself to be more than capable. He won't be fired ... he'll be hired away by a better school (23%, 44 Votes)
• Jake Dickert, Washington State ... The Cougars have been overachievers, but that will be more and more difficult with the Cougars appearing to be an odd-man out in upcoming realignment (12%, 22 Votes)
• Jedd Fisch, Arizona ... There was improvement between Years 1 and 2, but there might be a slide in the coming years (or a series of 5-7 seasons), leading to a search for something better (9%, 17 Votes)

• It is going to be an interesting season. Either these critics are going to be saying, "I told you so" ... or eating their words. The season can't get here soon enough, so we can find out (44%, 109 Votes)
• What a jerk. So ... Coach Prime was supposed to take the worst Power Five team - by a wide margin - and give players a year to try and prove themselves? What a joke (29%, 73 Votes)
• Just wondering how well this philosophy worked out for Veneables. Despite having a roster loaded with four- and five-star players, he went 6-7 last year. Perhaps he should have tried Prime's method (27%, 68 Votes)

• Low. If we have learned anything over the years, it's that the Pac-12 never misses an opportunity to fail. It would make perfect sense for the Media Day to be about the lack of a contract (55%, 91 Votes)
• Medium. It would be the perfect opportunity, with the nation's media focused on the Pac-12, to make an announcement. Hopefully, the Pac-12 will take advantage and end the speculation (30%, 49 Votes)
• High. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff can't hide anymore. If there isn't an announcement Friday, it's a clear sign the Pac-12 is in trouble (15%, 25 Votes)

• 11th. Hate to say it, Buff fans, but this is where CU will be predicted to finish, ahead of only Stanford. The media has never seen anything like Coach Prime, and still don't know what to do with CU (58%, 114 Votes)
• 10th or higher. The Pac-12 media (hopefully) has done more research than most of the national media, and will give CU at least a little more credit (31%, 61 Votes)
• 12th. The media will continue its long tradition of using the prior years results as the best predictor for the following season ... and CU's 2022 was absurdly bad (11%, 20 Votes)
