CU's schedule rated as the most difficult in the Big 12. Thoughts?
- Schedules are made years in advance. You get what you get. Next year, CU has all three of its non-conference games at home. I just hope the Buffs do well enough this year to make it pay off in 2027 (63%, 47 Votes)
- Well, when you schedule two Power Four non-conference opponents - and play both games on the road - what do you expect? I can't believe the Buffs are stuck with this schedule (21%, 16 Votes)
- It would be helpful if it made a difference in public perception. Finishing with a 6-6 record with a tough schedule is better than 8-4 in the new "Pac-12". Hope Buff fans will be patient (16%, 12 Votes)

CU has sold 20,284 season tickets to date - a 78% renewal rate from last season. Thoughts?
- Note to Coach Prime: Start winning some games if you want fans to come to Folsom. The bloom is off the rose - it's time to prove you can win at the Power Four conference level (43%, 58 Votes)
- Note to CU: Start winning some games if you want fans to come to Folsom Field. Oh, and don't have an FCS team as your only home non-conference game if you want casual fans to buy tickets (34%, 45 Votes)
- Note to fans: CU won't sell out season tickets this year, but only because CU raised season ticket seats available by 3,000. Otherwise, CU could again claim to have sold out season tickets (23%, 31 Votes)

CU Recruiting Class of 2027 up to 19 members; Coach Prime says "20. Maybe 21. That's it". Thoughts?
- The key is hanging on to the best recruits. Prospects could use CU's offer - and a good senior season - to garner better financial deals before Signing Day. We'll see if the Class stays with CU (61%, 53 Votes)
- It's been a good spring for Colorado football. The Class has eight on offense; 11 on defense, with eight players in the trenches. A nice balance, with some quality players. Well done, Buff coaches! (30%, 26 Votes)
- It's nice to see CU with a Class ranked 33rd nationally; 4th in the Big 12. But, if the Class is almost full, the rankings are sure to fall between now and Signing Day. CU should sign a Top 25 Class (9%, 8 Votes)

Do you think that the media "discovering" that Coach Prime is cancer-free will have an impact on the media's view of CU's chances this fall?
- No, it's too late in the off-season for prognosticators to change their outlook on CU. They see CU as a 3-9 team which marginally improved its roster, and has a tough schedule. All in, all done (51%, 71 Votes)
- No, because they really don't understand how much CU was hurt last spring/summer by Coach Prime's absence. This team - from all accounts - is closer and more determined than last year's team (44%, 62 Votes)
- Yes, once they understand that Coach Prime is healthy, has put together a solid recruiting, and has been in Boulder, they'll acknowledge that CU has more going for it this fall (5%, 7 Votes)

Can CU replicate the efforts of the 2016 Buffs, and go from "worst-to-first" in 2026?
- Yes. Okay, perhaps not all the way to first, but from 15th to 5th? I can see it. This is a much better team than last year, and I believe in the combination of OC Brennan Marion and QB Julian Lewis (52%, 58 Votes)
- I would like to think it's possible, with Coach Prime healthy, but CU's killer schedule will make the difference. The Buffs will be improved, but it won't make much difference in the wins column (29%, 32 Votes)
- No. Let's be realistic. CU has some talent, but last year's team had talent, and got clubbed in the last five games by an average score of 40-15. Coach Prime's (likely) last season will be tough (19%, 22 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??? 🙂
