Initial reaction to CU's 2020 revised schedule - pick CU's final regular season record:
  • 4-3 or 3-4 ... I can see wins over the likes of Stanford, UCLA and Arizona (all 4-8 last season), but to get to a winning season, it will take an upset (47%, 123 Votes)
  • 2-5 or 1-6 ... Fans forget that this is a new staff which hasn't had any practices ... and a starting quarterback with no experience. It's going to be a rough fall/winter (41%, 106 Votes)
  • 6-1 or 5-2 ... The Pac-12 South is down, and Stanford went 4-8 last season. There are wins there for the taking (8%, 21 Votes)
  • 7-0 and off to the College Football Playoff - Everyone is undefeated until proven otherwise (4%, 9 Votes)

Pac-12 schedule announced, with CU opening with UCLA; getting Stanford as its cross-over game. Thoughts?
  • Love it! The Buffs get to open at home (against a 4-8 team from last year), and its cross-over game is against a 4-8 team. Can't get much better than that (42%, 81 Votes)
  • Glad to have the schedule released, but, as we speak, the Buffs can't even practice. I'll believe it when I see it (32%, 62 Votes)
  • It's all optimism now, but the Buffs are still a team with three straight 5-7 records and a no established quarterback. CU has more problems than the schedule (26%, 52 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from a three-star outside linebacker, T.J. Patu. Thoughts?
  • This is a good looking prospect. The right size - 6'3", 210-pounds - and is versatile enough to play in the Star linebacker/safety position CU uses. Welcome, Mr. Patu! (46%, 95 Votes)
  • Every quality prospect in a position of need is welcome this year, though I will expect a higher-caliber list of commitments this time next year (if CU is again going to be able to compete for titles) (37%, 77 Votes)
  • This is as good as can be expected under the circumstances - no official visits and a new staff. Disappointed in the number of Power Five offers, however (three besides CU) (17%, 36 Votes)

Report: Pac-12 to unveil 2020 Schedule 3.0 on Saturday morning pre-game shows (ESPN and Fox). Thoughts?
  • It will be interesting to see how the CU schedule plays out. Here's betting CU starts out on the road, to give CU as much time as possible to get "permission" to play in their home stadium (54%, 72 Votes)
  • Nice. Good to see that the Pac-12 is at least trying to generate some national buzz. Beats releasing the schedule mid-week, when no one is paying attention (26%, 35 Votes)
  • Doesn't mean much. We know that CU will be stuck with a road game against a top North Division team (at Oregon? at Washington?), so it's not going to be a time for celebration for CU fans (20%, 26 Votes)

Larry Scott pushed for eight-team playoff for this season, but was voted down by the College Football Playoff committee. Thoughts?
  • I don't really care about a Pac-12 playoff bid right now. Until we get word that CU can practice, and maybe even play a game ... Who cares about the Pac-12? (49%, 92 Votes)
  • Too little; too late. If Scott really cared about the Pac-12 getting into the Playoff, he would have started pushing for practices to start right after Sept. 3rd's announcement of a testing deal (33%, 63 Votes)
  • It's good that he tried. It may have been the only chance the Pac-12 had of getting a participant. As Stanford Coach David Shaw said: "It's going to happen. We all know it" (18%, 34 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??? 🙂
