Pac-12 votes for six-game schedule (plus championship game weekend) beginning November 7th. Thoughts?
  • Would have been happy today ... if not for the Boulder County announcement. Now, the rest of the Pac-12 can practice, but CU can't. Karl Dorrell can't buy a break (70%, 184 Votes)
  • Glad to get things going. It will be interesting to see how they put the schedule. Division games plus one-crossover game? Can't wait to see the schedule - Go Buffs! (13%, 33 Votes)
  • It's a joke. A six/seven-game conference schedule won't get the Pac-12 into the College Football Playoff. I feel sorry for the players, who will get in half of a season (in front of zero fans) (12%, 31 Votes)
  • They shouldn't have put $$ ahead of safety. No CFP, so this is all about getting the New Year's Six money (5%, 13 Votes)

Pac-12 Board of Governors to vote Thursday on how the Pac-12 can resume play this fall. Your prediction?
  • Games to begin November 7th ... Since the Pac-12 wasn't gearing up to play this fall (until last week when the Big Ten reversed course), it will take an extra week to get the teams on the field (45%, 95 Votes)
  • Games to begin October 24th ... though not necessarily every team will play. There may be some allowance for non-California teams to start early and have a bye week or a non-conference game (29%, 60 Votes)
  • They will either vote to keep the suspension until January 1st, or put in so many restrictions that games won't be able to be played. The Pac-12 will show its true colors (26%, 55 Votes)

Report: Mountain West could start up before the Pac-12 (perhaps as early as October 24th). Thoughts?
  • Good for the Mountain West. If this will help the Pac-12 get its act together and vote Thursday to play this fall, then this is good news (44%, 84 Votes)
  • I'm just wondering whether the Pac-12 will allow teams who want to play (including possibly CU?) to actually play. Perhaps CU v. CSU on October 24th? (33%, 63 Votes)
  • The Mountain West is different from the Pac-12. I guess the country doesn't understand that the Pac-12 has California schools who have restrictions ... oh, wait, the MWC has three California teams (23%, 46 Votes)

What would be your favorite "I'm not surprised" story of the day?
  • That Nebraska, after being the leading proponent of playing this fall, is bitching about its revised schedule, which includes an opening date at Ohio State (52%, 142 Votes)
  • That Larry Scott and others received significant bonuses (which had been moved up in time) a month before almost half of the employees for the Pac-12 were laid off (39%, 107 Votes)
  • That Stanford is (reportedly) the leading dissenting voice in the Pac-12's debate over playing football this fall, citing health and safety concerns (9%, 22 Votes)

How would rate how the Pac-12 has dealt with the re-start issue to date?
  • Low. The Pac-12 came up with the contract for daily testing, and then did nothing. If the Big Ten hadn't acted, the Pac-12 would still be sitting on its hands. It's been an embarrassment (74%, 166 Votes)
  • Medium - really, it's an "incomplete". We'll see how the meetings go this Thursday. I am hopeful that there will be a good plan ... but I have my concerns (20%, 44 Votes)
  • High. The Pac-12 has been the most deliberate conference this fall, and that is paying dividends. The conference will have a plan which will give the fans football while keeping the players safe (6%, 13 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    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.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
