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)

The Boulder County Public Health Office has issued an Order preventing CU from practicing for at least two weeks. Thoughts?
  • I don't care ... as long as the Buffs can find a way to practice. Either the restrictions need to be lifted, or CU needs to find a work-around. Either way, the Buffs can't be left behind (again) (53%, 102 Votes)
  • It's all political. The governor of Oregon said she would make sure that her state schools would not be "at a competitive disadvantage", and got permission for those teams to play (28%, 53 Votes)
  • It's not political. Boulder has seen an outbreak of cases, and shutting down the 18-22 year olds is the logical means by which to stem the tide of positive cases (19%, 36 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??? 🙂
