CBS Sports has CU falling well outside of bowl eligibility. Thoughts?
- If you look at the Big 12, there are plenty of good teams, and CU has a tougher than average schedule. It's possible for CU to get to a bowl, but the Buffs will have to earn it (44%, 62 Votes)
- CU was given an over/under of 3.5 wins in 2023, and won four games. Last year, it was 5.5 games, and CU won nine games. Now it's 6.5 games - you do the math (30%, 42 Votes)
- The same pundits last spring thought CU wouldn't qualify for a bowl, and the Buffs won nine games and tied for the Big 12 regular season title. Ignore the pundits - CU never gets respect (26%, 38 Votes)

In the doldrums of May, what is your level of interest in college football and your Buffs?
- Medium. CU has plenty of holes to fill through the Transfer Portal, and the Class of 2026 needs bodies, so I'm checking in, but not monitoring daily (53%, 95 Votes)
- High. There is always news about college football (No. 1 QB chooses Georgia over Oregon!), so I seek out new information daily (29%, 51 Votes)
- Low. I'm sure I'll catch wind of any important signing news, but May is my time away from CU and college football. I'll be back this summer when the preseason magazines come out (18%, 32 Votes)

CBS Sports post-spring practices Top 25 has six Big 12 teams listed (none named Colorado). Thoughts?
- What I find disconcerting is that, in addition to the six ranked teams, CBS considered ranking Baylor, Utah and Kansas, which puts CU at ... 10th at best in the conference? Buffs have a lot to prove (57%, 72 Votes)
- Sounds about right. If you look at the rankings, the Big 12 has teams ranked 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, & 21. That tells me there are a lot of good teams in the Big 12, but no great ones (26%, 33 Votes)
- The last AP poll of the 2024 season had four Big 12 teams, including CU. The other three are back, joined by TCU, Kansas State and Texas Tech. The national anti-CU bias remains strong (17%, 21 Votes)

What is your take on the issues surrounding North Carolina's Bill Belichick and his girlfriend?
- I'm just glad that the football media has something else to chew on other than CU and Coach Prime. Like Shedeur, it's time for Coach Prime and the Buffs to put their heads down and get to work (58%, 104 Votes)
- Very much ado about nothing. It's May, and there is nothing much else going on in college football right now. Once we get to August and fall camps, this will no longer be news (26%, 46 Votes)
- You get what you pay for. North Carolina wanted a splash hire. The Tar Heels went after an old NFL coach with a 24-year girlfriend. They wanted publicity - they got it (16%, 29 Votes)

If you had millions to spare, would you become CU's biggest donor, and buy the Buffs a title?
- I'm not sure. If I had discretionary dollars, I would certainly like to become a donor, but I would have to see how the funds would be utilized. I wouldn't be writing a blank check (52%, 72 Votes)
- In a heartbeat. Ohio State bought the title last year; Texas is trying to buy the title this year. Why shouldn't the Buff Nation play in that tier? (30%, 42 Votes)
- No. I understand that college football is all about how big an NIL budget a program can build, but I prefer to see my team win the old-fashioned way, with solid recruiting and coaching (18%, 24 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??? 🙂
