Jon Wilner picks Colorado to win the Pac-12 tournament. Chances of that happening?
- Medium. Avoiding Arizona until the title game (assuming both teams make it that far) definitely makes this a realistic possibility. I don't want to jinx anything, but I am hopeful (57%, 130 Votes)
- Low. The Buffs have been on a roll of late, but we are still talking about the Buffs. I just hope that CU gets past Utah/ASU, and gets the Buffs off of the bubble and into the "locked" category (37%, 84 Votes)
- High. No team in the Pac-12 is playing as well as the Buffs right now. With a bye and with CU being on the opposite side of the bracket from Arizona ... Yeah, it could happen! (6%, 13 Votes)

ESPN announces it will air four Big 12 Spring games (West Virginia; Baylor; Houston; Texas Tech), but not Colorado. Thoughts?
- I'm just waiting to see what CU has in mind. Coach Prime and CU have hinted at plenty of add-ons, including a concert. Guess we'll have to wait for Fox to announce its coverage of the game (61%, 119 Votes)
- Makes some sense, actually. Coach Prime was a cultural phenomenon last year, but returning to CU's glorified scrimmage for a second year would be overkill. Plenty of time to showcase CU this fall (28%, 54 Votes)
- Hard to understand. ESPN knows what Coach Prime brings to the table in terms of ratings, so to take on lesser Big 12 programs but not CU ... not getting the logic (11%, 22 Votes)

On February 19th, after CU beat USC, CBS Sports had the Buffs as the last team into the field as an 11th-seed. Five wins later, CU is still an 11-seed. Thoughts?
- Just goes to show that the Buffs still have work to do. A win over Utah/Arizona State on Thursday should punch their ticket to the Dance. Until then ... we'll have to wait and hope (61%, 122 Votes)
- Just another indication that there is a media bias against Colorado. Had the Buffs lost any of the last five games (like say, Utah did), the Buffs would be out of the running (25%, 49 Votes)
- Surprised, actually. There is no team in the Pac-12 playing better than the Buffs. If it wasn't for the Pac-12 being down this year, the Buffs would be solidly in the field by now (14%, 28 Votes)

CU sweeps the Oregon schools on the road to finish the regular season 22-9. Update your thoughts on CU making the Big Dance
- High. The Buffs will likely need to be either Utah or ASU in the Pac-12 quarterfinals, but if they get to the Pac-12 semis, they are a tournament team! Can't have a one-and-done in Vegas (52%, 124 Votes)
- They're in! A six-game winning streak to end the season, including three on the road. The 22 regular season wins are a school record. Even Lunardi at ESPN has the Buffs in the Dance! (28%, 67 Votes)
- Medium. The Buffs can't depend on the bracketologists, even if they are finally coming around. It will take the Buffs getting to the finals (with wins over Utah and WSU) to make me feel comfortable (20%, 48 Votes)

CU ski team rallies from a 51-point deficit to claim 21st national championship (30th overall for CU). Thoughts?
- Amazing result. It's almost unheard of to rally from that kind of deficit on the final day, and to knock of defending national champion Utah in the process? Delicious! (83%, 177 Votes)
- Nice to get national title No. 30 (21 skiing; eight cross-country; one football), but if I'm being honest, it was more important to me that the basketball team beat Oregon State (14%, 30 Votes)
- Happy for the team, but the ski team really isn't on my radar. Perhaps if the CU at the Game host (hint, hint!) hadn't given up on the Buffs so early, I would have been more informed (3%, 5 Votes)

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.
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??? 🙂
