Rate your level of dislike/distain/hatred for the Nebraska Cornhuskers?
  • High. Coach Mac I decided on our rival 40 years ago, and the hatred is permanently ingrained. My two favorite teams for life: CU ... and whoever is playing Nebraska (77%, 380 Votes)
  • Medium. This is certainly a week in which my ire is raised, and I will yell louder than normal this weekend. After that? Pretty indifferent about the Cornhuskers (14%, 70 Votes)
  • Low. Yes, I care deeply about the results of this game, but I will be just as invested in seeing if the Buffs can take down Oregon and/or USC later this month (9%, 42 Votes)

Based upon CU's upset of TCU (and national Top 25 rankings), what is your revised win total projections for the Buffs?
  • 6-7 wins. A bowl bid definitely seems to be a realistic goal. There are tough games ahead, and the defense is still suspect. I'd be happy with a bowl bid and a winning season (64%, 219 Votes)
  • 8-9 wins. With Oregon, USC, Oregon State and Utah still on the schedule, 8 or 9 wins would make for a great season - and I'm not counting out a double-digit win season! (29%, 97 Votes)
  • 4-5 wins. I know that it a losing season sounds like a low estimate, but one game does not give us a fair sample. Oh, and the Pac-12 went 12-0 this past weekend, so there are only a few for-sure wins (7%, 24 Votes)

After one impressive road victory, CBS Sports has CU projected to be a bowl team (Los Angeles Bowl). Thoughts?
  • I'm just excited to be in the conversation about going bowling. After going 1-11, and looking abysmal doing so, even the thought of a bowl game is heady stuff. Just enjoying the ride ... (67%, 226 Votes)
  • CU just beat the 17th-ranked team in the nation - and on the road. Anyone who watched the TCU game knows that a bowl bid is no longer the ceiling for CU this season, but the floor (18%, 61 Votes)
  • It's great, but it's just Week One. Not to throw cold water on the issue, but CU has gone, what, 0-10 the last ten games CU had five wins and a chance at a bowl? Time will tell (15%, 51 Votes)

Will CU's victory over No. 17 TCU vault the Buffs into the Associated Press Top 25 this week?
  • Perhaps, but I'm actually kind of hoping CU will come in at No. 26 or No. 27. This team seems to run on the fuel of disrespect, and I'd like for them to take out the slight on the Cornhuskers (50%, 192 Votes)
  • No - Other than LSU (which lost to Florida State), every other ranked team won this weekend. Every ... single ... one. CU will get votes, but there won't be enough movement for CU to be ranked (36%, 136 Votes)
  • Yes - Beat a Top 25 team in their house - you deserve a spot in the poll. Other than No. 8 Florida State, which beat No. 5 LSU, who owns a win over a Top 25 team this season? Only CU (14%, 53 Votes)

Colorado 45, No. 17 TCU 42. Thoughts?
  • In-credible!!! A huge win!!! A win as a three-touchdown underdog against a ranked tam on the road? No words ... Enjoy this, Buff Nation! (64%, 301 Votes)
  • First win over a ranked team on the road since 2019 (No. 24 Arizona State), and the first win over a top 20 team on the road since 2002. This is going to be the most fun we've had in decades! (25%, 118 Votes)
  • It was a huge win for the program, but the defense did give up 541 yards and 42 points. Many shootouts to come ... I hope the Buffs can put together offensive performances like this every week (11%, 51 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??? 🙂
