What will it take for the 20th-ranked CU women's basketball team to secure a No. 4 seed in the tournament, and home-field advantage for the first two games?
- Probably a win in the quarters and in the semi-finals (likely against Utah, a projected No. 1 seed). CU doesn't have the history of other programs, and will have to earn tourney games at the CEC (41%, 60 Votes)
- I would think at least a quarterfinal win on Thursday night. The Buffs have a bye in the first round, and then will take on Oregon State. Avoid an upset, and they're likely in as a four seed (34%, 50 Votes)
- I have no idea what you are talking about. Spring practices start in a few weeks, and the Pac-12 media contract (and possible implosion) are what I am interested in (at least 'til spring ball starts) (25%, 36 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from a former Pac-12 coach to you is the most disconcerting?
- Former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti: "I have that impending sense of doom. All my life, I've always been a West Coast guy. … I can just see [the Pac-12] falling apart" (44%, 85 Votes)
- "Former Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez: "What is to stop Oregon and Washington from going to the Big Ten, from Arizona and ASU going to the Big 12? I think they're teetering on the brink right now" (42%, 82 Votes)
- Former WSU, OSU and ASU coach Dennis Erickson on streaming Pac-12 games: "It's nice when you can turn it on a regular channel. I think it will hurt them in recruiting, no question" (14%, 27 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from Pac-12 assistant coaches about CU recruiting to you rings the most true?
- "He’s doing a helluva job. Social media, he’s doing a great job with that. They’re getting better players than they’ve had. I think he’s put Colorado on the map" (42%, 100 Votes)
- "When I see 290-pound D-linemen committing to Deion, then I’ll be worried. You can have all those skill guys all you want, but if you don’t have anyone to block, what's that going to do for you?" (38%, 90 Votes)
- "There’s always been some flash. He’s unique in his approach and attracting the kids and the personalities that are going to fit with him. He’s got a plan, so I’m not critical of it at all." (20%, 47 Votes)

CU falls to No. 4 UCLA, 60-56, to fall to 15-15, 7-12. Thoughts?
- I'm ready to move on. The CU women's team will carry the torch in March, the men's team loses only two players, and brings in one of the top ten recruits in the nation. On to '23-24 (40%, 91 Votes)
- A gutty performance by an out-manned squad (who had to play without their best player in the final minutes). A tough loss, but a good showing (by the Buffs and their fans) on national television (37%, 83 Votes)
- Another double-digit blown lead. Which was was more gut-wrenching? The turnovers (12) or the missed free throws (10). Another bad loss for a bad team (23%, 53 Votes)

CU opens as a 17.5-point road underdog to TCU; a 7.0-point home underdog to Nebraska. Thoughts?
- The TCU line is probably about right; the Buffs will be on the road against the title game runner-up; but Vegas is giving way too much credit to a 4-9 Nebraska team with far fewer upgrades than CU (53%, 129 Votes)
- Take the Buffs and the points - easy money! Half of TCU's roster is at the NFL combine; half of CU's roster is new. And Nebraska? Puh-lese. Coach Prime isn't losing his home debut to Nebraska (38%, 92 Votes)
- Probably about right. Once the dust settles on the roster, fans will realize that a good portion of the CU roster is still made up of players who finished 1-11 last year. CU will be better - in 2024 (9%, 23 Votes)

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??? 🙂
