Colorado 38, Baylor 31, OT. Thoughts?
  • OMG! One of the greatest finishes in the history of Colorado football. As Jack Buck would say: "I can't believe what I just saw!" ... Go Buffs! (66%, 180 Votes)
  • I agree with choice No. 1 ... There is no other choice. We can nitpik and grouse about some of the other elements of the game later. Today is for celebration and joy! (34%, 92 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Baylor (+1.5) at Colorado (Saturday, 6:00 p.m., MT, Fox)
  • Vegas has this as a close game for a reason. Baylor is improved, and coming to Boulder with some momentum. I'm looking for a close game. A CU win, but a nail-biter (41%, 106 Votes)
  • I think this is CU's break out game. The defense has learned how to play for 60 minutes, and the offense will enjoy the home cooking. Buffs enjoy Homecoming with a strong team victory! (41%, 105 Votes)
  • Weather may be a factor, which favors a team which can run the ball. Baylor can; CU can't. Baylor is a more complete team right now, and gets the win in Boulder (18%, 46 Votes)

Dennis Dodd has listed Travis Hunter as the second-best player he has ever seen. Thoughts?
  • True statement. Barry Sanders was another once-in-a-generation talent, and was able to dominate for several years. Travis is in great company (44%, 65 Votes)
  • I'm surprised that Dennis Dodd, who spent the off-season trashing Coach Prime and CU with every other article, found something nice to say about a Buff ... and that he was at a game in Ft. Collins (30%, 45 Votes)
  • Good timing if you're considering not going to the game because it might rain. If he can stay healthy, Travis will go down as one of the best players the game has ever seen. Don't miss seeing him! (26%, 39 Votes)

Which of the following Big 12 conference opening weekend to you is the most interesting?
  • No. 12 Utah at No. 14 Oklahoma State - 2:00 p.m., MT, Fox ... A battle for supremacy atop the Big 12, especially if Cam Rising is available for the Utes (92%, 218 Votes)
  • No. 13 Kansas State at BYU - 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPN ... Both teams are 3-0. Kansas State has looked like a Playoff contender. Can the Cougars pull off the upset? (5%, 11 Votes)
  • Kansas at West Virginia - 10:00 a.m., MT, ESPN2 ... Formerly ranked Kansas is 1-2 and at risk of falling to 1-3 ... perhaps CU's trip to Arrowhead Stadium might not be as hard as we feared (3%, 9 Votes)

Colorado State, Wyoming, and Air Force all in the CBS Sports Bottom 25. Thoughts?
  • Really poor timing for these teams. The Mountain West is disintegrating, with CSU heading for the Pac-6, and Air Force (reportedly) heading for the AAC. Wyoming is likely to be left out in the cold (43%, 80 Votes)
  • Since I am a CU homer, it doesn't bother me to CSU losing, and, since Wyoming is a 2025 opponent for CU, I don't mind having a gimme game against the Cowboys on next year's home slate (32%, 58 Votes)
  • It's a sad day when every front range team from the Mountain West is struggling. Not really upset about CSU; surprised that Air Force is not doing well (25%, 46 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??? 🙂
