Oregonian lists CU as an easier game for the Ducks than Eastern Washington
- Not true. This is just Oregon media bias, nothing more (41%, 96 Votes)
- What really burns ... Oregon plays EWU at home and CU on the road, and CU is still seen as an easier game (35%, 83 Votes)
- True ... CU has lost to Oregon in the Pac-12 by an average of 43.5 ppg. - and EWU is a conference champion (24%, 57 Votes)

My grade for the CU running backs ...
- B ... There are useful players, and the depth is good. They just need to stay healthy (48%, 108 Votes)
- C ... When 75th in the nation is an improvement, you have an average group (36%, 82 Votes)
- A ... Quality players and great depth. This will be a breakout season (8%, 18 Votes)
- D ... No rusher over 500 yards for the first time since 1983. 'Nuff said. (8%, 17 Votes)

Will Rashaan Salaam be elected to the College Football Hall of Fame?
- Yes. I agree with CBS ... Heisman Trophy winners get in. Salaam should join them (69%, 122 Votes)
- Yes ... but not this year. It will take a few more years for the voters to come around (22%, 40 Votes)
- No. Salaam only had one great season, and CU's current irrelevance will work against him (9%, 16 Votes)

Former USC QB Max Wittek will start for Hawai'i against CU
- Somewhat concerned. First games (especially on the road) are difficult, but Buffs should be okay (54%, 136 Votes)
- Not concerned. Wittek hasn't really played in three years. CU should be able to handle him (24%, 60 Votes)
- Concerned. CU's first game under Leavitt ... on the road ... against a former four-star quarterback (22%, 56 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??? 🙂
