Which statement from the College Football News CU preseason preview is for you hits closest to home?
- The problem is the schedule – there’s no base of certain wins to count on. This might be a better team without the great record to show for it (48%, 64 Votes)
- Converting on third down will change everything. Just get to 40ish% – CU did that just three times after ripping through Northern Colorado (32% for the year) – and the offense will be far better (41%, 55 Votes)
- The pass rush has been addressed this offseason as a main focus in spring ball, and it should be better. At least that’s the hope. Get to the QB more, and everything else should start to work. (11%, 15 Votes)

Pac-12 votes to eliminate divisions for purposes of determining championship participants. Thoughts?
- I like it. It will help the conference put its best foot forward when it comes to College Football Playoff selection time. It can't hurt the Pac-12 in the national picture (50%, 87 Votes)
- Too bad this wasn't in effect two years ago, as Colorado would have had a shot at the Pac-12 title, instead of USC playing second-place Oregon in the championship game (34%, 58 Votes)
- Not a big fan. If CU and Oregon are both 10-2, any guess which team the conference will try and find a way to put into the title game? CU another step away from national relevance (16%, 28 Votes)

Colorado opens as a 9.0-point home underdog to TCU for the 2022 season opener. Thoughts?
- We'll see. There's still three months before kickoff. I would suspect that the line will come down some over the summer, but the Buffs are likely to remain at least a touchdown underdog (50%, 110 Votes)
- Probably about right. The line is consistent with the expectations for the Buffs ... players lost to the Transfer Portal, struggling offense, wholesale coaching changes. It's going to be a tough year (36%, 79 Votes)
- You're kidding, right? TCU went 5-7 last season. With a bowl bid on the line in the finale, the Horned Frogs lost to Iowa State, 48-14. Bring 'em on! (14%, 29 Votes)

Jon Wilner: Rating the Pac-12's Quarterback Comfort Quotient (QBCQ), Colorado comes in last. Thoughts?
- Wilner tends to be negative, but in this instance, he's right. Until or unless Brendon Lewis (or J.T. Shrout) can prove they can win with regularity in the Pac-12, CU will be a question mark (69%, 134 Votes)
- Wilner tends to be negative towards CU, which is reason enough to ignore his rankings (though Buff fans need to be prepared for another 100 days of negative reports about the Buffs and their chances) (21%, 40 Votes)
- Wilner tends to be negative towards CU, and here it's unwarranted. No fewer than seven Pac-12 teams will be starting transfers - and they're all better than a returning starter? I don't think so (10%, 19 Votes)

What factoid about junior defensive lineman Jalen Sami do you like best?
- That Sami, despite having already been coached by three head coaches and SIX position coaches ... still has two years of eligibility remaining (69%, 103 Votes)
- That, despite being 6'6", 320-pounds in high school, Sami was an "overlooked" two-star recruit, and fought his way up to being a starter for a Power Five conference school (20%, 30 Votes)
- That Sami, as a freshman, was the last line of defense, and saved the game against Washington by making a tackle on a punt return (11%, 16 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??? 🙂
