Sports Illustrated proposes a 120-team, 10-league realignment which would see Colorado paired with three Pac-12 schools and eight Mountain West schools. Thoughts?
- No chance. The only way this would work is if there were mandatory revenue sharing, and there is no way Alabama and Michigan are going to give Tulane and Eastern Michigan equal media paychecks (46%, 100 Votes)
- No chance. This would basically make CU, Arizona, ASU and Utah Mountain West Conference teams, with little national attention or recognition (and, BTW, no recruiting in Texas or California) (33%, 72 Votes)
- I could live it, but only if there was a guarantee that the national revenue would be evenly shared, and the conference champion had a guaranteed berth in the 12-team playoffs (18%, 38 Votes)
- I could live with it, because regional rivalries are likely the wave of the future, and CU would be a dominant program in the new conference (3%, 7 Votes)

Which would you prefer to see this fall from your Buffs?
- A full schedule, even if it means having no fans in the stands (55%, 114 Votes)
- At this point, I would prefer that college football (and perhaps other sports) call off the 2020 season, give every one a potential extra year of eligibility, and start over in 2021 (23%, 49 Votes)
- A post-poned or shortened season (Pac-12 games only?) if it meant that there would be the ability to have at least some fans in the stands (22%, 46 Votes)

We are now ten weeks out from the season opener. Will CU be playing in Ft. Collins against the Rams on September 5th?
- No ... with the number of positive tests for players - long before other students get back to campus - I'm finding it harder to believe that there will be games played on college campuses this fall (45%, 87 Votes)
- Yes ... with between 25% and 50% seating. I can't foresee full stadia this fall, but there will be games ... and there will be fans in the stands (29%, 56 Votes)
- Yes ... but without fans. With the spike in cases, it seems more and more likely to me that, if the games are to be played, they will be without fans in the stands (26%, 50 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??? 🙂
