What did you like best about the Buffs' 20-10 victory over San Diego State?
  • That the Buffs were able - on short notice - to hold off a good Aztec team by playing (with the exception of the pick-six) sound, fundamental football. A nice reflection on the coaching staff (43%, 159 Votes)
  • That the Buffs are now bowl eligible. After three seasons of frustration, the Buffs won a bowl-eligibility game (now, on to win No. 4 to ensure a bowl bid!). (32%, 117 Votes)
  • That the CU defense showed it can dominate a game, giving up only 155 total yards and only three points on the scoreboard (25%, 93 Votes)

Colorado goes to 3-0 with a 20-10 non-conference victory over San Diego State. Thoughts?
  • A win is a win is a win. The number of undefeated Power Five teams heading into December? Fewer than ten ... I am just overjoyed that CU is one of them. Survive and advance! (47%, 215 Votes)
  • A great team win. The offense struggled (against a very good defense), but the Buff defense was dominant throughout. Love being 3-0! (34%, 157 Votes)
  • Glad for the victory, but let's pump the brakes on Pac-12 title talk. SDSU played without its top quarterback and top running back ... and it showed. The lack of a killer instinct remains (19%, 86 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. San Diego State (3:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks)
  • If CU is 3-0 come Saturday night, I don't care if the win is an ugly one or a close one. Just find a way to win (and get to bowl eligibility) Buffs! (70%, 234 Votes)
  • Two days ago, we thought the Buffs could win on the road against USC. If CU can stay with USC, they can handle the Aztecs. Buffs make a statement, and get to 3-0 going away! (25%, 82 Votes)
  • SDSU has spent the last two years with a defense in the top ten nationally in both total defense and scoring defense. I'm afraid a frustrated Buff offense could net a frustrated CU fan base Saturday (5%, 16 Votes)

USC backs out of Saturday's game ... CU to take on San Diego State (3:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Thoughts?
  • Glad Rick George was on top of this, and gives CU a chance at a third game. Not so glad that CU went from national ABC game to a "no one will watch" Pac-12 Networks game (51%, 184 Votes)
  • I'm up for it. CU has a chance at a third win, and at home. Much better than sitting home for a second consecutive week. Go Buffs! (44%, 160 Votes)
  • Not a fan. It's a lose/lose situation for CU, with minimal preparation (reportedly San Diego State has been prepping for CU all week). It's either an embarrassing loss, or a "who cares?" win (5%, 18 Votes)

If USC backs out at the last minute, would you be in favor of playing San Diego State?
  • Yes. The Buffs have played two games in the past 12 months. Getting more playing time for this young team is vital - even if it's against a Mountain West team (83%, 48 Votes)
  • Not a huge fan (especially if the Aztecs have, as reported) been preparing to play CU. Especially not a fan if the Buffs are the road team (even if technically the "home team" for TV rights) (12%, 7 Votes)
  • No. There is no upside here. If the Buffs win, they will get no credit. If they lose, it will be an embarrassment. Better to stay home and get ready for Arizona next weekend (5%, 3 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??? 🙂
