Shedeur Sanders named the NFL Rookie of the Week for his 364-yard passing effort against Tennessee
- Good news. Glad that Shedeur has been given the opportunity to show what he can do, and is taking advantage. No one is calling him a fifth-round pick anymore (62%, 76 Votes)
- We'll see how it works out. Shedeur's numbers came against the worst team in the NFL ... and Cleveland still lost. Nice numbers, but still much to prove (25%, 30 Votes)
- It wasn't planned, but nice that this is all coming after the end of CU's season, so Coach Prime can watch his son without attracting (negative) national attention about his dedication to his team (13%, 16 Votes)

To you, which of the following news stories of the week is the most eye-brow raising?
- The firing of Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore. This has already been a raucous coaching carousel season, and Michigan's replacement hire could tip over another set of dominos (51%, 89 Votes)
- The announcement that Utah is entering into a $500 million deal with a private equity firm. We'll see where this goes, but, for better or worse, this is a ground-breaking event (34%, 59 Votes)
- Shedeur Sanders passing for 364 yards, the most-ever by a former CU quarterback. Shedeur will be the starter for the rest of the season ... so much for being a fifth round draft pick (15%, 26 Votes)

Report: Utah in the process of finalizing $500 million private equity investment in its athletic department. Thoughts?
- All I know is that CU needs to find an infusion of serious cash - and soon. If there isn't a alumni billionaire who likes football, CU needs to look into other funding sources like private equity (67%, 94 Votes)
- This will backfire on Utah, and every other program that tries it. Do you think athletic departments (and coaches) will like having private equity firms tell them what to do with their rosters? (22%, 31 Votes)
- This is the way collegiate sports is heading, and Utah deserves credit for being ahead of the curve. If you want to compete, you need to create not just millions, but hundreds of millions (11%, 16 Votes)

A total of ten teams are now sitting out the bowl season (including five from the Big 12). What does this mean for the future of bowl games?
- This could be the beginning of the end for lesser bowls. The expansion to include every 6-6 team (and some 5-7 teams) has rendered the bowl season meaningless (52%, 91 Votes)
- I'm just wondering why half of the teams opting out (Kansas, KSU, Iowa State, Baylor, UCF) are from the Big 12. A bad look? (Or a reflection of poor bowl options for the Big 12?) (29%, 51 Votes)
- I wouldn't put too much into it. This was a weird year with a huge number of schools getting new coaches. Let's see if this happens again next year before drawing any conclusions (19%, 34 Votes)

Notre Dame (10-2), Iowa State (8-4) and Kansas State (6-6) sitting out the bowl season. Thoughts?
- I don't get it. Coaches have always stressed the desire for the 15 extra practices bowl games bring. Seems like a tough deal for the players who are missing their reward for a good season (34%, 61 Votes)
- I can understand Iowa State and Kansas State sitting out, as they will have new coaches next year, but Notre Dame is acting like a spoiled child who didn't get their way (33%, 59 Votes)
- All I know is that if Colorado was eligible for a bowl, we would be celebrating. Perhaps the time will come (in our lifetime) where CU will have the option of deciding whether or not to go to a bowl (33%, 58 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??? 🙂
