North Dakota State accepts an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference. Thoughts?
  • A good move for the Bison. A step up to the FBS for one of the most successful FCS programs. With most of the best MWC teams off to the Pac-12, NDSU will be competitive immediately (54%, 66 Votes)
  • I'm just glad that CU won't be playing NDSU as an FCS team anytime soon. If I'm a fan of Wyoming and Air Force, I'd be a bit concerned about having the Bison on the schedule every season (29%, 35 Votes)
  • A short-sighted move. Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. NDSU will fade to irrelevance playing UTEP and Northern Illinois (17%, 21 Votes)

Seattle is a 4.5-point favorite over New England for Super Bowl LX. Who do you have winning the game?
  • Seattle. The Seahawks are the better team on both sides of the ball. The Patriots are too inconsistent, so it should be a Seattle win. Oh, and I don't like New England (60%, 76 Votes)
  • Don't really care, because: a) I don't care about either team; b) I don't care about the Super Bowl; c) I don't care about the NFL; or d) some combination of the above (33%, 42 Votes)
  • New England. The Patriots seem to find a way to win big games, and this is a big game. I may not personally root for the Patriots normally, but it's hard to bet against them (7%, 9 Votes)

Rate your interest in CU athletes competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics
  • High. I enjoy the Olympics, and it makes it all the more fun to have CU athletes competing. I'll be paying attention to see if any Buffs make a podium (38%, 42 Votes)
  • Low. I don't pay much attention to the Winter Olympics, and the fact is half of CU's Olympians are competing for other countries. I may read a story if a Buff wins a medal, but that's about it (37%, 41 Votes)
  • Medium. There are some events in the Winter Olympics which are worth watching, and I'll check headlines to see if any of my Buffs are medal worthy (25%, 29 Votes)

CBS Sports Big 12 Power Rankings: CU rated No. 12. Thoughts?
  • About right. There are improvements to the roster, to be sure, but this is still a remade roster coming off of a 3-9 season. Moving from 15th to 12th is still an upgrade from 2025 (53%, 61 Votes)
  • Too high. If we are being honest here, there is reason to believe that the Buffs are about as good talent wise as last year, with a more difficult schedule. The Buffs won't escape the bottom tier (27%, 31 Votes)
  • Too low. "Losing Jordan Seaton was a crushing blow" - just shows how little homework the reporters have done. No effort to see how deep and talented the roster has become. Prove 'em wrong, Buffs! (20%, 24 Votes)

Signing Day loss. Three-star wide receiver Xavier McDonald signs with James Madison. Thoughts?
  • What really disappoints me is that this was supposed to be a package deal, with four-star Class of '27 DB Dolph McDonald set to join his brother at CU. Now both are off the board (47%, 66 Votes)
  • Not concerned. McDonald has been a commit since December, and has been recruited over since he committed. CU is very deep in the WR room. Fine with opening up another scholarship (37%, 52 Votes)
  • A loss. If a player would rather play for James Madison than Colorado, what does that tell you about the perception of the CU in the high school ranks. Not pleased (16%, 22 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??? 🙂
