Colorado is 3-3 at the midway point of the season. In the second half, the Buffs will go ...
  • 3-3 ... I don't know how. I don't know which games. But I have faith that Tucker & Co. will get the Buffs to a bowl game this year (50%, 153 Votes)
  • 2-4 ... I feel another 5-7 season coming on ... three straight seasons of falling just short of a bowl (28%, 85 Votes)
  • 1-5 ... The Buffs will be favored over UCLA ... and no one else. It's going to be a long second half to the season (19%, 59 Votes)
  • 4-2 ... Only Washington and Utah are out of reach. The Oregon wake up call will bring about another Rise (3%, 9 Votes)

How would you grade Mel Tucker & Co. midway through Year One?
  • A B ... I am still very encouraged about the future, but it just may take longer than we thought (55%, 166 Votes)
  • A C ... Injuries are making for a difficult season. I would still like to believe, but doubts are starting to creep in after the past few weeks (23%, 71 Votes)
  • An A ... You have to look past the last few weeks. Mel Tucker is the answer, and will lead the Buffs back to their winning ways (14%, 42 Votes)
  • A D ... CU is 3-3 in Year One under Tucker. The Buffs were 5-1 last year at this time. A 3-9 or 4-8 season can't honestly be called an improvement (8%, 25 Votes)

No. 13 Oregon 45, Colorado 3. Thoughts?
  • Starting five freshmen is never going to work out well against a Top 25 team on the road. The defense needs to get some players healthy, and fast, before this spins out of control (60%, 178 Votes)
  • An ugly game, to be sure, but it was one tipped ball away from being 17-10 at halftime. Work to do, but there is plenty for Tucker & Co. to build on going forward against lesser opponents (23%, 70 Votes)
  • A crushing defeat. The Buffs lost seven straight to end the 2018 season. Do I hear eight straight to close out the 2019 campaign? After this game, it's not hard to imagine it happening (17%, 51 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at No. 13 Oregon. Friday, 8:00 p.m., MT, FS1
  • The Buffs have given up 30 or more in each game, and the Ducks are giving up less than 10. Mel Tucker's Buffs won't give up, but the Ducks will still win comfortably (54%, 180 Votes)
  • I fear the worst. Justin Herbert v. a defensive backfield with only one starter left from the season opener? This is going to be a rout (28%, 94 Votes)
  • No one thought the Buffs would win in Eugene in 2016, either. Faith, Buff fans - CU will not only keep it close, they have a chance to win! (18%, 62 Votes)

The Saturday Pac-12 game which for me holds the most interest is ...
  • USC at No. 9 Notre Dame - Will this be the final game of the Clay Helton era at USC? (35%, 84 Votes)
  • Washington State at No. 18 Arizona State - Will the Cougars head back to Pullman to face CU on a three-game losing streak? (33%, 79 Votes)
  • Washington at Arizona - The unthinkable (Cougars with three Pac-12 losses in mid-October; Wildcats atop the Pac-12 South) actually come to fruition? (29%, 69 Votes)
  • No. 15 Utah at Oregon State - Beavers playing better of late - will they give the Utes a run for their money? (3%, 7 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??? 🙂
