8.73 million viewers watched the Colorado victory over Nebraska. Which of the following to you is the most impressive factoid:
  • That the thirst for all things CU and Coach Prime remains insatiable, with both Fox and ESPN setting up their pregame shows in Boulder ... for a Rocky Mountain rout in the making (47%, 121 Votes)
  • That last season, CU's viewership averaged 352,000/game, meaning four times as many viewers have watched CU's last two games ... than watched all 12 games last season (27%, 71 Votes)
  • That the Buffs v. Cornhuskers were just behind the matchup between two top ten teams, Alabama and Texas (8.76 million), and the CU game was a blowout! (26%, 68 Votes)

Colorado a 23.5-point favorite over CSU. Thoughts on the Buffs being such a heavy favorite?
  • I'm just trying to remember the last time CU was favored by this many points against an FBS team (it has to be years). This is a strange new world we're living in (58%, 147 Votes)
  • Take the Buffs minus-anything. CSU doesn't have any truly dangerous players on offense, and limited talent on defense. The Buffs' stat sheet gets healthy in a romp over the Lambs (24%, 61 Votes)
  • Giving away that many points is a scary proposition. I know it's just scar tissue from the 2022 team, which averaged 15.4 points per game, but giving away that much to anyone seems like a stretch (18%, 45 Votes)

Colorado moves up four spots in both the AP and USA Today/Coaches poll (to No. 18 in the AP; No. 21 in the Coaches). Thoughts?
  • Rankings are just the icing on the cake. Beating up on the Cornhuskers is the real reward. I'm going to savor this victory for some time (at least until we beat up on the Rammies next weekend!) (57%, 211 Votes)
  • Great recognition for what the Buffs have accomplished. One of only two Power Five teams (Utah the other) with two Power Five wins. "We comin'!" quickly being replaced by "We here!" (23%, 87 Votes)
  • It's nice recognition, but it really doesn't mean anything in early September. Once CU gets to six wins and bowl-eligibility, I'll start paying attention to standings and rankings (20%, 74 Votes)

No. 22 Colorado 36, Nebraska 14. Thought?
  • Three straight wins over the hated Huskers! It is bad of me to be upset that the Corn got a touchdown in the last minute? A beautiful win - let's go get the Rammies! (47%, 192 Votes)
  • Incredible win! Younger fans might not fully appreciate how huge this win is! A great day for the Buffs! We comin'! (32%, 132 Votes)
  • The final score doesn't really tell the whole story. If it wasn't for some first half turnovers by Nebraska, it might have been a different game. Plenty to work on going forward (21%, 87 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Nebraska at No. 22 Colorado (Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, Fox):
  • The Cornhuskers' strength in the lines may frustrate the Buffs for much of the game. It will be tense, but CU will post its third-straight single digit victory over the hated Huskers (48%, 181 Votes)
  • It's pretty simple: CU has great skill position players; Nebraska does not. Buffs have momentum; Cornhuskers do not. Buffs overwhelm Cornhuskers in cruising to a delicious double-digit victory (41%, 154 Votes)
  • The closer the game gets, the more nervous I get. Nebraska has something TCU did not - game film. I don't want to predict against my Buffs, but I can see a scenario in which Nebraska wins this game (11%, 45 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
