Last season, CU ranked 106th in total defense. This fall I expect ...
- CU to be in the Top 75. Young talent now has experience. Buffs getting better. (72%, 166 Votes)
- The Buffs to be around 100th in the nation again. The Pac-12 has great offenses; CU has too many question marks on defense (17%, 40 Votes)
- The Buffs to move into the Top 50. CU much improved on defense (11%, 23 Votes)

My post-Spring practices prediction for CU's 2014 record
- 6 wins ... CU finds a way to make it to a bowl game in year two of the Mac era (45%, 118 Votes)
- 5 wins ... CU improved across the board, but schedule too tough to post a winning record (36%, 94 Votes)
- 4 or fewer wins ... Looking forward to 2015, but this is another rebuilding year (12%, 31 Votes)
- 7 or more wins ... Mike MacIntyre wins Pac-12 Coach of the Year award! (7%, 21 Votes)

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.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
