  • I'm just excited that, in the third year of the CFP, the Buffs have earned their first-ever ranking (35%, 142 Votes)

Chances No. 21 Colorado finishes the season ranked
  • Good. If the Buffs continue to play as well as they have recently, I like their chances (47%, 195 Votes)
  • Excellent. Three of the final four games at home; road game against cellar dweller Arizona (45%, 186 Votes)
  • Fair. The way the Pac-12 is treated, it will only take one regular season or bowl loss to drop the Buffs out of the poll (8%, 33 Votes)

Colorado is listed as a 10.5-point favorite over UCLA
  • About right. UCLA has the talent to keep in interesting/scary, but the Buffs will prevail by two scores (54%, 211 Votes)
  • Too high. The Bruins put up 45 points against Utah in their last game - with a backup quarterback (37%, 144 Votes)
  • Too low. CU is 8-0 against the spread this season. Buffs under-estimated / Bruins over-estimated (9%, 37 Votes)

CU (6-2, 4-1) alone in first place in Pac-12 South
  • I just enjoy the concept: Calendar turning to November ... with CU in first place!! (48%, 139 Votes)
  • Buffs right where they hoped they would be - four wins to a title! (43%, 125 Votes)
  • I wouldn't have minded Utah beating Washington, if for no other reason than to watch the Buffs take down a higher ranked Ute squad Thanksgiving weekend (9%, 24 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
