UW's "Dawg Pound" assessment of CU: "The goal for this team should be getting in a position to compete for the South title in 2020". Thoughts?
  • Sounds about right. A bowl bid is the goal for 2019. In Year Two under Mel Tucker & Co., this team will be ready to challenge for the Pac-12 South (53%, 118 Votes)
  • Not buying it. CU was 5-7 last year (and should have won at least two more games). With better coaching, and a wide open division, I believe the Buffs can compete for a title THIS fall (25%, 56 Votes)
  • I like the optimism, but I'm not sure if 2020 is the answer. CU's non-conference schedule: at CSU; Fresno State; at Texas A&M, plus road games at USC, Stanford, and Washington. Yikes! (22%, 49 Votes)

Which of the following stats about USC do you find the most surprising?
  • Eleven of the 12 losses have been by double digits. Forget that FIGHT ON! stuff, when they’re down, they’re out. (55%, 77 Votes)
  • USC is 1-12 outright as an underdog and 2-11 against the spread. No gutty little Trojans’ upsets here. (28%, 39 Votes)
  • USC is 6-17-1 against the spread in its last 24 games. Under-perform much? (17%, 25 Votes)

Which of the Pac-12's "Hot Seat Rankings" do you find to be the most surprising?
  • Mel Tucker at No. 66 - While Tucker will need to produce, Dan Hawkins survived a 2-10 opening campaign (coaching a team with four division titles in the past five seasons). Tucker is very safe (45%, 83 Votes)
  • Mike Leach (No. 113) rated as the least at-risk Pac-12 coach. Chris Petersen and Kyle Whittingham are much safer than Leach, who could be one more poorly worded statement away from being on a hot seat (30%, 55 Votes)
  • Kevin Sumlin at No. 20 and Chip Kelly at No. 21 - Both need to rebound from losing seasons, but neither are in serious jeopardy this season (25%, 46 Votes)

Which stat from "Random Thoughts" do you find to be the most surprising?
  • That CU's point differential since 2000 is a - 1,116 ... over 600 points worse than any other Pac-12 school (42%, 93 Votes)
  • That CU has a winning streak against the majority of its 2019 opponents (34%, 75 Votes)
  • That CU spent 50 more weeks in the AP poll in the '90's than did USC ... and 92 more weeks than did Oregon (24%, 53 Votes)

Washington leaves Nike for Adidas. Should Colorado follow suit?
  • Yes. Advertising for Nike U - I mean, Oregon - just helps raise money for Knight to keep pumping money into the Duck coffers. CU should make its next deal with Adidas (55%, 118 Votes)
  • No, but I do like it that Washington is going out of its way to stick it to its main rival (23%, 50 Votes)
  • No. Like it or not, Nike is the gold standard for apparel, and pumps millions into the CU athletic department. Phil Knight is going to do what he is going to do, whether or not CU wears Nike gear (22%, 45 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??? 🙂
