- "Our guys have been working their tails off all offseason. Pound for pound we're probably some of the strongest guys in the weight room" (17%, 18 Votes)

Which of the following rooms do you think is the strongest on the CU roster?
- Wide receivers. There may not be great height in the room, but there is speed to burn. The Buffs seem to be three-deep at all three wide receiver positions. Sharing the ball may be the biggest issue (73%, 88 Votes)
- Quarterbacks. Julian Lewis is a five-star player with a tremendous upside. I also believe having Isaac Wilson, who has P4 playing experience, is good to have as a backup (16%, 19 Votes)
- Defensive backs. CU has some keepers at cornerback, including Justin Eaglin, and the safety room, with Boo Carter included, could be very solid for the defense this fall (11%, 13 Votes)

As Spring Practices shift into high gear, into which Tier would you currently place CU in within the Big 12?
- Tier Three: A winning season is a realistic goal, but conference title contention is not in the offing (57%, 76 Votes)
- Tier Two: Potential conference title contenders, but missing an element or two. A winning season and a bowl bid are likely (21%, 28 Votes)
- Tier Four: Regrouping, rebuilding, starting over. Wins will come rarely, and will need to be savored (20%, 27 Votes)
- Tier One: Big 12 conference title contenders, and, by extension, the College Football Playoff (2%, 2 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's press conference do you like the best?
- On OC Brennan Marion: "Everybody I interviewed (for offensive coordinator), they averaged 30 points per game ... Not only did we find him, but he's more than expected" (44%, 64 Votes)
- "They look different, they're built different, their attitude is different. Is everybody a superstar? No. But you put a dog beside a guy that's not fully grown yet, he can hunt as well" (34%, 50 Votes)
- "I feel as though we have the best staff that has been assembled in my tenure by far. I'm thankful for progression. I'm thankful for elevation" (22%, 33 Votes)

ESPN's Bill Connelly ranks the 68 Power Four quarterbacks. CU's Julian Lewis comes in at No. 64. Thoughts?
- Julian Lewis is 14 months removed from being a five-star recruit, with offers from Georgia, Alabama, USC, Ohio State and Oregon. We'll see how smart Mr. Connelly looks come November (52%, 60 Votes)
- I can understand that Julian Lewis would be rated fairly low. He's still an 18-year old freshman, with little tape from which to grade his ability. Check back in at mid-season, Mr. Connelly (33%, 38 Votes)
- I don't know what Bill Connelly has against the Buffs, but pretty much every time there is an SP+ ranking, CU comes in at the bottom. Another CU hater - disregard and move on (15%, 18 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??? 🙂
