Larry Scott pushed for eight-team playoff for this season, but was voted down by the College Football Playoff committee. Thoughts?
- I don't really care about a Pac-12 playoff bid right now. Until we get word that CU can practice, and maybe even play a game ... Who cares about the Pac-12? (49%, 92 Votes)
- Too little; too late. If Scott really cared about the Pac-12 getting into the Playoff, he would have started pushing for practices to start right after Sept. 3rd's announcement of a testing deal (33%, 63 Votes)
- It's good that he tried. It may have been the only chance the Pac-12 had of getting a participant. As Stanford Coach David Shaw said: "It's going to happen. We all know it" (18%, 34 Votes)

- Bieniemy at halftime of the '90 Nebraska game: "I screwed up (three lost fumbles). It will not happen again. Put it on my shoulders" (30%, 43 Votes)
- KC HC Andy Reid: "It's all about details with him" ... Former RB Jamaal Charles: "I didn't even know how to spell details until EB got with me" (19%, 28 Votes)

Should the Pac-12 and commissioner Larry Scott be pushing for a one-year, eight-team playoff?
- I don't really care. Yes, it would be nice to have the extra playoff payoff ($$$) from having a playoff team, but CU's not really in contention, so it's not my worry this year (49%, 92 Votes)
- Yes. Scott should have recognized that the Pac-12's best (only?) shot at having a 7-0 champion in the playoffs is if more than four teams are chosen (39%, 73 Votes)
- No. This year is a one-off, and no one knows if Alabama, Clemson, or Ohio State are going to have seven-plus games, either. No reason to change just for this year (12%, 24 Votes)

If you were CU athletic director Rick George, what would you do now?
- I would work behind the scenes to find a workable solution, so that the Buffs can get back to practice as soon as possible (46%, 125 Votes)
- I would point out that CU athletes are the best-tested, least-at-risk group in Boulder, pack my bags, and take the team out of the county for practices (44%, 120 Votes)
- I would acknowledge that Boulder is the one Power-Five conference town not finding a way to work with their teams, shut down the department, and see how the Boulder economy likes the lost revenue (10%, 28 Votes)

With six weeks before the first Pac-12 game, what is your current interest in watching college football?
- Medium. I will follow college football as a creature of habit, but won't really start giving college football my full attention until November (39%, 81 Votes)
- High. I love college football, and, with three Power-Five conferences playing, there is some good football to watch (31%, 63 Votes)
- Low. I am in this for my Buffs and the Pac-12. Once the Buffs are on the field - even though I can't be in the stands - I will be back (30%, 62 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??? 🙂
