  • "If they were to get into (the Big 12 championship game) they’d be 60 minutes from the college football playoff. It’s not out of the realm of possibility" (40%, 55 Votes)
  • "Was Coach Prime a success in Year One? Sanders delivered a 400 percent increase in wins - wouldn't you consider that a success?" (6%, 9 Votes)

Report: Big 12 Conference in negotiations to sell naming rights to the conference. Thoughts?
  • I would be okay with the renaming of the conference, but this translates to only $2 - $3 million per team. In a world where teams need an extra $40 million per year, the price tag is way too low (53%, 72 Votes)
  • I like it. If all it takes is to get $30 - $50 million per year for the conference is to rename the (misnamed) Big 12 the "Big Allstate Conference", I'm all in! (26%, 36 Votes)
  • Please, tell me this isn't happening. I can deal with a Big 12 which has 16 teams, but renaming the conference is stepping over the line of good taste ... and good sense (21%, 28 Votes)

Which of the following quotes are you most likely to agree with?
  • ESPN on Shedeur: "I’d like to see him work on climbing vertically in the pocket — instead of instantly tucking and running or throwing the ball out of bounds" (56%, 89 Votes)
  • Phillip Lindsay on Coach Prime: “This may be (Sanders’) last opportunity with this much attention ... Is he the right fit for the job?” (39%, 62 Votes)
  • Paul Finebaum on CU and Coach Prime: "What happened last year was generational, but it was mostly forced and created, and it was really in many ways illegitimate" (5%, 7 Votes)

Thoughts on playing two quarterbacks from the Recruiting Class of 2018 (and one from the Class of 2019)?
  • I'm just amazed at how little the NCAA has done to retain any semblance of control. An extra COVID year? Sure. But Rising could even play in 2025 ... Year Eight! The system is broken, folks (71%, 110 Votes)
  • Not really concerned. If Rising, Bowman and Jefferson were really any good ... they would be in the NFL by now, not hanging out in college, picking up their third or fourth "degrees" (24%, 38 Votes)
  • Certainly makes it more difficult. Cam Rising (Utah), Alan Bowman (Oklahoma State) and KJ Jefferson (UCF) will take advantage of any CU defensive deficiencies (5%, 8 Votes)

With 308 all-time appearances in the Associated Press poll, CU leads the new 16-team Big 12. Thoughts?
  • This tells me that CU has had a really bad run the past two decades. CU was in the Top 20 for decades, and now has slipped to 29th. Makes me miss the good old days when CU was a national fixture (71%, 126 Votes)
  • This tells me that CU has a storied history, including a great history as a member of the Big 12. Added a few weeks last year ... looking forward to seeing that total grow in the next few years (16%, 28 Votes)
  • This tells me that the new Big 12 has some work to do to garner national respect. CU is atop the list, but only 29th nationally. Former members Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and A&M are all higher (13%, 24 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??? 🙂
