Oklahoma has moved up its season opener against Missouri State to August 29th. Thoughts?
- It's an odd move, considering that OU head coach has been a leading proponent of the viability of spring ball (39%, 55 Votes)
- It's a tough move for the Pac-12. Another indication that the SEC, Big 12, and ACC are going to play non-conference games. If the Big Ten changes its mind, the Pac-12 will (again) be the odd man out (39%, 54 Votes)
- It's a smart move. The Sooners now have a bye week between each of their non-conference games, allowing them to ease into an uncertain season (22%, 31 Votes)

What are your thoughts as to the Pac-12 taking on a ten-game conference schedule, with CU reportedly to add Oregon State?
- I'm actually just glad to see that the Pac-12 is taking a leadership position in this discussion. I don't know if it will work out, but I applaud the effort (48%, 55 Votes)
- I like it. A ten-game schedule gives the players a full season, with flexibility of some bye weeks if they become necessary. Plus, if you are going to add a game, I'd rather play OSU than Cal (35%, 40 Votes)
- It's all good, though if safety were the primary concern, a bus trip to Ft. Collins would have made more sense than a flight to play in Corvallis (17%, 20 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from 6'5", 241-pound defensive lineman Ryan Williams. Thoughts?
- I'm going to have to trust the coaches on this one. Williams looks like the real deal physically. I hope he gets to play a senior season and show everyone why CU thinks he is the real deal (61%, 111 Votes)
- One other offer, and that was from Texas Southern. Not even rated by Rivals when he committed (now a two-star prospect). Hard to be "under-the-radar" for a state champion. Color me unimpressed (23%, 42 Votes)
- Like it. A player in a position of need (defensive line) from a quality program (5A Texas state champion). He will come to Boulder knowing how to play (16%, 29 Votes)

Which of the following news stories to you sounds most likely to happen?
- Jon Wilner: The Pac-12 will announce a ten-game, conference-only schedule, with each team having five home games and five road games (57%, 122 Votes)
- Stewart Mandel: The Pac-12 will announce it is foregoing fall sports until spring ... perhaps the only Power-Five conference to do so (30%, 63 Votes)
- CBS Sports: NCAA Board of Governors will announce that no championships will be awarded for sports this fall (13%, 28 Votes)

Stewart Mandel predicts that the Pac-12 will cancel fall football, but other conferences will play. Thoughts?
- My fear is that this will come true, and that the Pac-12 will be perceived nationally as a second-tier conference (even more than it is already) (39%, 85 Votes)
- I don't see it playing out that way. The Power Five conferences may not see eye to eye on the number of games to be played, but I can't see them splitting up the season (33%, 73 Votes)
- I can see that happening. California and Arizona are having real issues, which could make it difficult for the conference to play ... while no one is going to shut down the SEC (28%, 61 Votes)

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.
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??? 🙂
