Two transfer Buffs make the ESPN list of Top 100 players of the 2025 season. Thoughts?
- This tells me that CU has a good linebacker - the weakest position on the team last year - and another potential star at wide receiver. Excited about the possibilities for the season (but wary) (55%, 63 Votes)
- This tells me that CU's coaching staff did a very poor job of coaching in 2025. Nice two quality G6 players are coming to CU, but no Buffs were in the top 100 nationally? Sad (23%, 26 Votes)
- This tells me that CU's Transfer Portal Class is better than what CU is being given credit for. A Bowling Green linebacker? A San Jose State wide receiver? Nice - glad these two will be Buffs in 2026 (22%, 25 Votes)

ESPN: CU has one of the Top 25 Transfer Portal lists. Thoughts?
- What's not being discussed enough is that CU first focused on bringing in players with production at positions of need, then signed higher profile talent to fill out the roster. Like the plan (54%, 81 Votes)
- Fine, but it's probably a volume thing. CU is bringing in so many players every year (and that's not a good thing). Not seeing any real star power here to make me believe the Buffs will improve (32%, 48 Votes)
- Nice. Buff fans have been focused too much on the losses (Omarion Miller; Jordan Seaton), and not focused on the quality list of transfers the Buff coaches are bringing in. Bring on spring practices! (14%, 20 Votes)

NCAA approves uniforms patches for upcoming season. Thoughts?
- Okay with this, as long as CU gets its fair share of revenue. Remember "Chico's Bail Bonds" on the Bad News Bears? "Shamrock Meats" on Rocky's robe? Promise me this won't happen, CU (44%, 49 Votes)
- Not a fan. Anyone like the uniforms on race car drivers? There is so little in college sports left for us to enjoy ... now every play will be an advertisement. Yuck! (38%, 42 Votes)
- Like it. It's a new way for teams to generate revenue streams. It won't level the playing field, but it will help teams like CU to generate additional dollars (and get additional players) (18%, 21 Votes)

CU releases its 2026 schedule. Thoughts?
- Coach Prime is going to have to bring this overhauled roster together quickly. Hopefully, with Coach Prime healthy, and no spring transfer portal to dilute the roster, that will happen (76%, 152 Votes)
- It's the opposite of last season, when CU opened with four of five games at home. If the Buffs can survive the first half, the second half of the season provides opportunities (18%, 36 Votes)
- Since we already knew who the opponents would be, you can't really gripe about the difficulty. But the Big 12 giving CU a road game to start, after facing two road non-conference games, seems harsh (6%, 12 Votes)

Can CU and Coach Prime replicate what Curt Cignetti and Indiana did this season?
- There's always hope. Oregon's roster had 55 blue chip players, and still got smoked. Cignetti is a unicorn. CU can (and should) try to build its program on the Indiana model (starting with new $$$) (50%, 97 Votes)
- No. While Coach Prime has given Buff fans hope with the hiring of Brennan Marion, he hasn't gotten rid of other poor coaches, and hasn't demonstrated he can build a team in an off-season (38%, 75 Votes)
- Yes. The template is there. You can build through the Portal, and, if you have the right combination of players and coaching, anything can happen (12%, 23 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??? 🙂
