• That CU is 50th in the nation (0.95 million), which is below the Pac-12 average (1.96 million), and only 9th in the Pac-12. The slow decline in CU's national brand over the past 20 years is real (64%, 128 Votes)
• That Oregon is No. 7 nationally in fans, with 5.54 million, ahead of No. 8 Alabama (5.34 million) and No. 10 USC (4.46 million), with fanatics at LSU, A&M, and Georgia all down around 4 million (19%, 38 Votes)
• That the Pac-12 is equal to the ACC in fan base (23.5 million each, with the ACC number not counting Notre Dame), and well ahead of the Big 12 (11.6 million). Would a move to the Big 12 be risky? (13%, 25 Votes)
• That Nebraska's fan base (2.55 million) and CSU's fan base (0.26 million) are both below their conference averages. Nebraska is only about 1/4th of Ohio State, and only about 1/3 of Michigan (4%, 8 Votes)

• I'm just glad that Arizona is recognized as a program in trouble, along with Arizona State and Nebraska. It's been fun watching the Cornhuskers struggle, and watching Herm burn ASU to the ground (46%, 76 Votes)
• Not sure what to make of CU's exclusion. Does it mean that CU is seen as being better than the teams profiled ... or that CU as a program is actually reached the "hopeless" stage (27%, 45 Votes)
• Kansas, Vanderbilt, Duke, Indiana (historically), along with 1-11 Arizona ... Glad CU didn't "make the cut" in this inauspicious list of historical losers (27%, 44 Votes)

• No. 47 Nebraska - The writer (Brett McMurphy) who listed the Cornhuskers as the No. 25 team in the nation sees the world through red-colored glasses. We'll put this one in the "whatever" category (43%, 113 Votes)
• No. 14 USC - This is why the Big Ten wanted USC. A 4-8 team last year, the Trojans did significantly upgrade its skill position talent, but many questions remain. This is not a Top 15 team (29%, 76 Votes)
• No. 11 Oregon - All you need to know is that Vegas has the Ducks as an 17.5-point underdog to No. 3 Georgia. Does that sound like a Top 11 team to you? (18%, 46 Votes)
• No. 7 Utah - The Utes are the defending Pac-12 champions, and have a a great deal of talent coming back. But one of the top ten teams in the nation? Not sure about that (10%, 27 Votes)

• It really doesn't matter who starts against TCU. OC Mike Sanford has made it pretty clear that he expects both quarterbacks to play this fall. The starter v. TCU won't end the discussion (40%, 117 Votes)
• J.T. Shrout - Word was that Shrout was in position to win the job last August before he was hurt. Lewis has had his chance, and has demonstrated some weaknesses in his game (36%, 105 Votes)
• Brendon Lewis - I appreciate that J.T. Shrout is being every opportunity to win the position, but Lewis has the experience. So, unless he is clearly beaten out, he should be the starter (24%, 70 Votes)

• Absolutely nothing. I did like that Dorrell had trouble with the question about whether CU has had any "bad practices". Apparently, CU has nothing but good practices. Nothing to see here (as usual) (30%, 63 Votes)
• That the team got through the 90-play scrimmage with no major issues, and no major injuries. Interesting that Dorrell was focused on Buffs getting through 9-10 play sequences instead of 3-4 plays (27%, 58 Votes)
• That the quarterback race between Brendon Lewis and J.T. Shrout remains "nip and tuck", but that the team feels comfortable with both quarterbacks behind center (25%, 54 Votes)
• That walk-on running back Charlie Offerdahl is still turning heads and getting the attention of the coaches (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing) (18%, 38 Votes)
