CU opens as a 4.5-point home underdog to No. 22 Iowa State. Thoughts?
- Iowa State has proven it can win games against good teams (Kansas State; Iowa). Until the Buffs beat a Power Four team, they will remain deserved underdogs (61%, 89 Votes)
- I think that Vegas is telling us something. Iowa State was undefeated and ranked 14th, but was still a 1.5-point underdog to Cincinnati. The Buffs shouldn't be afraid of ISU - this is a winnable game (22%, 32 Votes)
- I guess that means that Vegas sees the Cyclones as about a touchdown favorite at a neutral site. Sounds about right. It's going to be a close game for the Buffs ... again (17%, 24 Votes)

TCU 35, Colorado 21. Thoughts?
- I'm just throwing this out there, but four turnovers, against a good team, on the road, isn't the way to win. I'd love to see this team play four good quarters of football (52%, 99 Votes)
- For the second weekend in a row, the Buffs go out to a 14-0 lead. For the second weekend in a row, the Buffs lose. Doesn't get more frustrating than that. It's tough to be a Buff (40%, 77 Votes)
- Yes, TCU was a 14-point favorite, and yes, TCU won by 14 points, but anyone who watched the game knows it was nowhere near a two-touchdown loss. Plenty for the Buffs to build on (8%, 16 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at TCU (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., MT, Fox)
- There is a good reason why TCU is a two-touchdown favorite. CU got killed the one time the Buffs went on the road. The only thing CU fans get out of this game is a good night's sleep. TCU in a rout (43%, 57 Votes)
- I have a feeling this is going to be like the Georgia Tech and BYU losses. Buff fans are left Saturday night with the feeling that CU is just a play or two away from a win. TCU wins, but CU covers (41%, 55 Votes)
- In Coach Prime and the Buffs we trust. We know this team has talent. It's just up to the Buffs to play a full 40 minutes with focus. I think this will be the week it happens - Buffs take down TCU! (16%, 22 Votes)

Which of the following Big 12 games this weekend for you holds the most interest?
- No. 11 Texas Tech at Houston (Saturday, 5:00 p.m., MT, ESPN. Both teams are 4-0, 1-0 ... The winner will take the lead as a favorite for the Big 12 title (let's see just how good the Cougars are) (57%, 64 Votes)
- No. 14 Iowa State at Cincinnati (Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, ESPN2). Not only am I interested because Iowa State is CU's next opponent, but because unranked Cincinnati is a 1.5-point home favorite (38%, 43 Votes)
- Kansas State at Baylor (Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, ESPN+). Both teams are 1-1 in Big 12 play. Both were expected to compete for the league title ... but the loser may fall out of the race (5%, 6 Votes)

Kansas and Arizona State will play in London next September. Thoughts on CU being a future participant in a game in Ireland or England
- It depends. If CU is asked to give up a home game to play, it's a hard no. If CU's opponent is giving up a home game, it might be worth it to play at a neutral site instead of on the road (45%, 64 Votes)
- I hate it. It's hard enough to watch my Buffs - now I have to go overseas to see them in person? Not a fan (And teams who have played overseas - Notre Dame; KSU; Florida State - have suffered) (36%, 51 Votes)
- I love the idea. If the Buffs were invited to play a Big 12 game overseas, it would be great publicity for the Buffs ... and potentially a great trip for CU fans! (19%, 27 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??? 🙂
