Colorado 20, California 13, OT. Thoughts?
- A great win for the players! Congratulations to the team, the interim coaching staff, and the 50,000 fans who showed up. Everyone played a role in the win! (65%, 309 Votes)
- I'm just soooo glad that CU will not post its first winless season since the 19th century. CU still has miles to go to even be mediocre, but it's nice to get at least one win this season (26%, 124 Votes)
- Umm ... Where was this defense the first five games of the season? Nice to know that there is Power Five talent on this team, and that they can win Pac-12 games with decent coaching (9%, 44 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. California (Saturday, noon, MT, Pac-12 Networks)
- The Buffs have a new head coach, a new outlook, and fresh start. The lineup, though, consists of the same players. Buffs' energy keeps it close, and under two touchdowns, but Cal still wins the game (38%, 64 Votes)
- Well, the Buffs are two-touchdown underdogs and haven't beaten the spread once this season. No need to overthink it ... Bears in a rout (38%, 63 Votes)
- Call me a crazy optimist, but I think the stars are aligned for this one. A near sellout wills the Buffs to their first (and perhaps only?) win of the season! (24%, 41 Votes)

Other than No. 7 USC at No. 20 Utah (and, of course, CU v. Cal), which Pac-12 game will you be most interested in this weekend?
- Washington State at Oregon State (7:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Two early choices to challenge for the Pac-12, both are 1-2 in Pac-12 play. An elimination game in Corvallis (51%, 68 Votes)
- Stanford at Notre Dame (5:30 p.m., MT, NBC). The Irish haven't been world-beaters, but the Cardinal have been horrid. Can Stanford (like CU) rise from the ashes? (28%, 37 Votes)
- Arizona at Washington (3:30 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Formerly 4-0 Washington has lost two in a row. Can the Huskies regain some swagger against the Wildcats? (21%, 28 Votes)

Which of the following stories of the week brings for you the greatest "so what else is new?" shrug?
- That CU players are saying that "This is the fastest the defense has looked in three years". We've heard a lot about great practices for two months - call me when it translates to play on the field (69%, 159 Votes)
- That Nebraska extended its sellout streak - dating back to 1962 - via a donor who gave $21,000 to the University for discounted tickets ($10 each). Streak is a sham (and has been for years) (20%, 45 Votes)
- That the Big Ten commissioner says the conference is content with USC and UCLA, and is not looking to expand. That will be the story ... until it's not. Nothing's forever, but all's quiet for now (11%, 25 Votes)

Do you think the "Interim Coach Bump" might apply to the Buffs?
- I'm just want to see if the Buffs are still interested. If the team doesn't come out with fire this weekend (good crowd, beatable opponent), then they may as well forfeit the remaining games (64%, 135 Votes)
- The other schools, with perhaps the exception of Georgia Tech, were expecting winning seasons this fall, so it's not a stretch to see them winning some games with interim coaches - not so for CU (23%, 49 Votes)
- I don't see why not. Nebraska, ASU, Georgia Tech and Wisconsin are 6-3 with interim coaches, including two wins over ranked opponents. Why can't the Buffs enjoy a similar bump? (13%, 26 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??? 🙂
