What are your thoughts on how the CU offensive line will rate in the Pac-12 in 2023?
- Middle third. It's nice to have a significant influx of transfers, CU has, as offensive line coach Bill O'Boyle put it, "a lot of work to do". Cautious optimism is all we can have right now (71%, 164 Votes)
- Bottom third. The offensive line is one of the more difficult units to improve, and it won't come over night. This unit was horrible last season; merely adequate this year will be an improvement (16%, 37 Votes)
- Top third. With the transfers, CU coaches now have a total of eight linemen who were all starting last fall. The returning starters with the infusion of talent will give CU a much better line (13%, 29 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from junior transfer wide receiver Xavier Weaver. Thoughts?
- Sure, it looks like another good pickup, but CU had already picked up eight new receivers this offseason (a school record). Now it's nine? Some quality offensive and defensive linemen, please! (46%, 117 Votes)
- Love it! We were excited about Jimmy Horn, Jr. coming to CU from South Florida ... and now CU is getting Weaver, who actually led the Bulls in receiving the last two seasons? Gimme! (38%, 95 Votes)
- CU is now hovering around 95 scholarship players. Every new one in means an existing player is leaving. I hope that Weaver adds more than what CU is losing from the player who will be cut (16%, 40 Votes)

Which of the following factoids from the USA Today story about Deion Sanders, Jr., impresses you the most?

- Subscriptions to Sanders Jr.’s YouTube channel have rocketed to about 250,000, up from about 80,000 in late November; the video of Coach Prime's first meeting with the team has been viewed 4.2 times (15%, 27 Votes)

With Ohio State dumping games against Washington, should (an expanded) Pac-12 consider going to ten conference games?
- We'll see. The only way to even consider going to ten conference games is if the Pac-12 expands. Until that happens, a nine-game conference schedule has every team playing every other team. Done (47%, 87 Votes)
- No. If anything, the conference should go to eight conference games (until all conferences agree to play nine). Every extra conference game means the Pac-12 goes 6-6 that week, and that hurts rankings (47%, 86 Votes)
- Yes. If other Power Five schools are going to back out of playing Pac-12 schools, the conference will need extra conference games to get the additional TV revenue (6%, 11 Votes)

Which of the following proposed "time saving" rules changes for the 2023 season do you find to be the most objectionable?
- Allowing the clock to restart the game after an incomplete pass once the ball is spotted for play. Where do I start? This shouldn't even be considered! (56%, 117 Votes)
- Allowing the clock to continue to run after a first down, except for the final two minutes of the game. This is a rule which makes college football unique ... don't change it! (28%, 58 Votes)
- No longer extending first or third quarters for an untimed down on a defensive penalty ... If they want to "shorten" the game, how's about cutting out a few minutes of commercials? (16%, 34 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??? 🙂
