• Just another off-season list with no value. Although, now that you've asked - Kenny Dillingham (ASU) and Sonny Dykes (TCU) should have made the list over some of the coaches who made the Top 25 (64%, 25 Votes)
• Sounds about right. The Big Ten and SEC have the money, so it's not a surprise that they can pay for the best coaches. Until or unless the Big 12 and ACC get to equal footing, this list won't change (28%, 11 Votes)
• Way too much disrespect for the Big 12, although it's surprising to see Lance Leipold on the list. Kansas has posted back-to-back 5-7 seasons - worse than CU's 12-13 over that span (8%, 3 Votes)

• Medium. I'll get into it as the tournament gets underway. But, if I'm being honest, when CU is not involved - and the Buffs haven't been close the past two years - my interest isn't as high (38%, 43 Votes)
• Low. With all of the one-and-done players and transfers, there aren't any players or programs worth rooting for anymore. I'll either watch the CU women's game ... or not at all (35%, 39 Votes)
• High. One of the best times of the year in sports, especially the first weekend. 48 games in four days, with plenty of upsets. College sports at its purist ... I can't wait! (27%, 31 Votes)

• Great that the women's team is in the NCAAs, and I hope they do well. I'll only be happy about the men's team if they don't lay an egg in Las Vegas like they did last season (a 21-point loss) (43%, 55 Votes)
• Glad for both teams. The women's team has a decent draw as the No. 10 seed, and it's good for young the men's team to get in the extra practices. March Madness, here come the Buffs! (35%, 45 Votes)
• Glad for the women, but sad that the men are still playing. A second straight season in something called the "College Basketball Crown"? If you can't get into the NCAA or NIT tournaments, stay home (22%, 29 Votes)

• Until or unless CU finds a billionaire donor, the Buffs are going to behind on talent. Naming rights for Folsom, patches on uniforms, donations from coaches ... figure it out, AD Lovo! (49%, 106 Votes)
• Yes ... and probably throw in a couple of million more. Coach Prime has more money than he could ever spend, and this is a make-or-break stretch for him. Surprised he hasn't already donated (35%, 75 Votes)
• No. It's his money, and someone paid him that because they felt he was worth it. It's CU's job to find funding for its NIL programs, not Coach Prime's (16%, 36 Votes)

• About right, I'm afraid. You can't take a 3-9 team (with a 1-8 Big 12 record), flush out all but 3-4 starters, and hope for a quick turnaround. Hard to admit, but a 4- or 5-win season is an upgrade (48%, 51 Votes)
• Too low. Pundits are underestimating Coach Prime, and, more importantly, Coach Marion and quarterback Julian Lewis. This is a bowl team, at minimum. Take the over on your Buffs (35%, 37 Votes)
• This is on the CU administration. If the non-conference schedule didn't have two Power Four teams (both on the road), but two G-6 teams at home, the over/under total would be higher (17%, 18 Votes)
