With transfers and opt outs - and with the playoffs expanding to 12 teams - have minor bowls lost their value?
  • Yes. And it's not just the minor bowls. With injuries, transfers and opt outs, the Orange Bowl between Georgia and Florida State, which should have been a showcase, was a joke (56%, 162 Votes)
  • No. Even with the expansion of the playoffs, there are still 120 teams who won't be playing for a title, and getting a post-season trip is a nice reward for players (and their fans) (22%, 64 Votes)
  • Well, since CU hasn't been part of the bowl discussion for a generation, it's hard to say. Get CU into the Guaranteed Rate Bowl or Pop Tarts bowl next fall, and we'll talk (22%, 61 Votes)

CU defensive coordinator Charles Kelly leaving Colorado for a co-defensive coordinator position at Auburn. Thoughts?
  • No one can form a real opinion about this news until CU names its next defensive coordinator - then we can discuss whether this is a net positive or a net negative (70%, 235 Votes)
  • Not going to lose any sleep. While there were improvements over the 2022 disaster, CU was still 121st in scoring defense and 127th in total defense. This is addition by subtraction, folks (19%, 63 Votes)
  • Not a good day. Kelly was an excellent recruiter, and there is something to be said for continuity on the coaching staff having an impact on the field. (Hopefully his recruits won't leave too) (11%, 37 Votes)

Which quote from five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton do you find the most interesting?
  • That what made the difference in his recruitment was how much Coach Prime cared about him as an individual, while other schools saw him as another five-star recruit (49%, 90 Votes)
  • That negative recruiting against Coach Prime is alive and well, with one coach asking him: "What? Do you want to be a rapper or something?" (47%, 86 Votes)
  • That in the end, it came down to Colorado v. Florida State and Tennessee, and that Maryland wasn't as much of a factor as we had been led to believe (4%, 7 Votes)

CU is currently at 81 scholarships. Rate your level of concern that 50 of the Buffs are upperclassmen; only 31 are underclassmen
  • Low. How long ago was it - like a year ago? - that Buff fans were constantly complaining about having small senior Classes? You can't please some people (51%, 147 Votes)
  • Medium. Let's give this another year. If Coach Prime is unable to bring in a quality freshman Class next year, it will start to be a problem. For now, top-loading is necessary to build the program (45%, 131 Votes)
  • High. There are 27 seniors, and more than a few juniors who will be going pro. You can't build a program changing over a third of your roster every year (4%, 12 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??? 🙂
