It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. Oregon (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- Oh-Mi-God. The No. 3 offense in the nation against the No. 3 (from the bottom) defense (No. 128 overall). Oregon won 70-14 in 2012 ... sounds about right (54%, 99 Votes)
- Let's see how the Buffs react to being down early. Do they continue to fight? Or do they fold their tents, letting us know that November will just be a series of embarrassments? (29%, 52 Votes)
- I can see a back door cover here. The line is 31.5, and the Ducks may have that edge by halftime. I can see Oregon resting its starters (Washington next week), with CU scoring late to cover (17%, 31 Votes)

Which of following Pac-12 games this weekend for you holds the most interest?
- No. 23 Oregon State at Washington (Friday). Pretty much the battle for second-tier supremacy. Winner gets a much better bowl - and is still alive in the Pac-12 race (63%, 82 Votes)
- Arizona at Utah. The Wildcats have shown signs of improvement, giving USC a game last weekend, while Utah inexplicably didn't play Cam Rising last week against Washington State (20%, 26 Votes)
- UCLA at Arizona State. The Bruins were brought back to reality by Oregon, but still can win the Pac-12 if they don't stumble in games they are supposed to win - like this one (17%, 22 Votes)
- Washington State (4-4) at Stanford (3-5). The Cougars are 1-4 in Pac-12 play; the Cardinal 1-5, but because of easier non-conference schedules, both can still qualify for a bowl game (0%, 1 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from a three-star cornerback from California, Jordan Shaw. Thoughts?
- I'm just impressed that Mr. Shaw is actually committing to a school and not a coach. Talented, and with his head on straight. Another 84 players like that, and CU will have an impressive program (53%, 102 Votes)
- With his commitment, Shaw instantly becomes the highest-rated member of the CU Recruiting Class of '23 (still 16 strong). Well done (interim) coaches! Welcome, Mr. Shaw! (24%, 47 Votes)
- It's certainly a good get, but there is still plenty of water to go under the bridge between now and Signing Day. We'll see if he likes the new coaching staff - and if they like him. Fingers crossed (23%, 43 Votes)

Interim head coach Mike Sanford: Buffs4Life Collective is “a game-changing narrative for our program”. Thoughts?
- We'll see. I'd like it better if there was a statement about what has been raised (and if there are any goals). If we don't know how well the Collective is doing, interest could fade (60%, 112 Votes)
- Sanford: "I’m calling on former Buff players, members of the CU community that support football. This is where we have to go". Finally! A big day for CU! (34%, 63 Votes)
- I'm not a fan of Buffs4Life, so I'm not super excited about this development. I understand a Collective is necessary for CU to compete - I'd just like to have someone else in charge (6%, 11 Votes)

Freshman quarterback Owen McCown has played in four games this fall. Should he play again this season if healthy?
- It should be left to McCown. If he is healthy and wants to play, he should. If he wants to sit and save a season of eligibility, he should have that option (57%, 156 Votes)
- No. If you shut him down now, he will still have four years of eligibility remaining. The next four games are losses, so may as well start thinking about the 2023 season (and beyond) (33%, 90 Votes)
- Yes. If he is healthy, he should play. Next year is next year, and the coaches and players should focus on trying to win each and every game (10%, 28 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??? 🙂
