Which of the Pac-12 double-digit underdogs (not wearing black-and-gold) do you think has the best chance at an upset this weekend?
  • Washington State (+14) at Utah ... How much enthusiasm is there in the Ute locker room after back-to-back losses and a savior quarterback who quits the team? (70%, 185 Votes)
  • Oregon State (+12) at USC ... The Trojan quarterback situation remains unsettled (backup wiz Dart injured; Slovis back with first team), and it would be easy for the Trojans to underestimate the Beavs (29%, 76 Votes)
  • Arizona (+27) at No. 3 Oregon ... Hey, the Ducks were only ahead of the Stony Brook Seawolves 17-7 at halftime last weekend, so anything can happen (1%, 4 Votes)

Which news story of the day to you was the most "eyebrow raising"?
  • That Utah quarterback Charlie Brewer left the team. A four-year starter at Baylor, Brewer was supposed to be the answer to the Utes' QB problems. Three games in ... guess not (35%, 109 Votes)
  • That CU picked up a commitment from a three-star linebacker from Arizona, Shakaun Bowser. Considering CU's last game, it's all the more special that this well-regarded prospect committed (33%, 103 Votes)
  • That Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is willing to listen to overtures for the USC head coaching job. Bieniemy wasn't interested in coaching his alma mater ... hmmm (32%, 101 Votes)

Which quote from Karl Dorrell's Monday press conference stands out the most to you?
  • None of the above. No coaching changes. Nothing other than saying he'll poke his head into the offensive staff meetings. No changes = No improvement. What the Hell? (71%, 256 Votes)
  • "Sometimes it takes something like (the Minnesota game) to get the wake-up call you need. Their body of work up until this point has been pretty solid" (14%, 52 Votes)
  • "I get where the fans are and I am disappointed. It is not a good look for us. I was able to wake up Sunday and get back to work" (10%, 37 Votes)
  • On Brendon Lewis: "He is a very competitive kid ... He knows the expectations are always going to be high. But he doesn't lack any confidence" (5%, 16 Votes)

Colorado opens as a two-touchdown underdogs to Arizona State (Sat., 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPNU). Thoughts?
  • This is a joke, right? The CU offense hasn't scored in seven quarters, and isn't showing any signs of life. I fear another rout is in the offing (62%, 237 Votes)
  • Sounds about right. Arizona State was exposed by BYU, the first team the Sun Devils played of any substance, but the Buffs right now just aren't up to the challenge (20%, 78 Votes)
  • I actually think the Buffs will respond. Not quite ready to predict an upset, but this team was embarrassed, and will hang tough with the Sun Devils (18%, 68 Votes)

Colorado embarrassed by Minnesota, 30-0. Thoughts?
  • If Darrin Chiaverini is still the offensive coordinator Monday, there needs to be an investigation. A rout by a middling Big Ten team? At home? Unforgivable (54%, 253 Votes)
  • I was worried about a down performance, but this was devastating. Dorrell better find a way to rally the troops, or its down to a two-game season (Arizona and Oregon State) (41%, 191 Votes)
  • Well, CU is down to two first-team All-Pac-12 performers: Linebacker Nate Landman and punter Josh Watts (50.9 yards/punt on nine punts). After that? Crickets (5%, 21 Votes)

  1. 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.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
