• About right. The first six teams on the list all won nine or more games, with 7-6 Washington State and 5-7 Arizona above CU. About as good as you expect at this point (51%, 152 Votes)
• Too low. I understand that it's hard to believe CU will be a player in the Pac-12 this season, but it's happening. Coach Prime is coming to win, and win now. The Buffs will finish in the top half (45%, 133 Votes)
• Too high. CU has a very steep hill to climb from the No. 131 team in country. CU may have advanced past Stanford and Arizona State at this point, but that's about it (4%, 13 Votes)

• That this commitment will help convince other blue-chip prospects to come to CU. Next weekend is CU's "Elite Junior Day", and the Buffs are expecting some big time commits from the Class of 2024 (45%, 126 Votes)
• That Coach Prime can compete for and get the highest-rated recruits, with the McClain commitment solidifying CU's position as once again being a national player for recruits (37%, 105 Votes)
• That CU now has two lock down cornerbacks on the roster for 2023. While it doesn't guarantee a better defense, having two blue chip corners on the field will help mask deficiencies (18%, 50 Votes)

• "I have a No. 1 responsibility to make sure that my room, my running backs, understand their responsibility in the run game, passing game, protection game and the overall scheme" (73%, 198 Votes)
• “You know there’s one guy that’s probably going to get the bulk of the reps, but you need two good backs. But, make sure everyone else feels supportive, still being ready for their opportunity" (19%, 53 Votes)
• "Before (Coach Prime) gets there, I want to make sure things are in place to make sure it goes smooth. To be able to do both (roles), it takes trust, it takes loyalty" (8%, 21 Votes)

• USC and UCLA are leaving, but the Pac-12 goes out of its way to make their schedules easier, while giving 1-11 CU two top ten teams to start conference play. Figures ... (55%, 163 Votes)
• Not a fan. Even with the influx in talent on the roster, it will take time for this team to gel. I would have preferred starting the Pac-12 against teams like Stanford and ASU (25%, 76 Votes)
• I like it. It's a challenge, but Coach Prime is up for challenges. If CU can beat TCU, Oregon or USC, it will be national news, and set the Buffs up for a strong run the rest of the season (20%, 60 Votes)

• Makes sense for Shrout. He knows he is not going to play unless Sanders is injured, and that CU may still pick up another experienced backup who might pass him on the depth chart. Good luck to him! (65%, 256 Votes)
• It is what it is. The timing is a bit curious, with rosters filing up and spring classes starting. Better to know now, so that the coaching staff has more time to find more help for the QB room (32%, 125 Votes)
• Bad news for the Buffs. Shrout was the only experienced backup in the quarterback room. If Shedeur gets injured, the Buffs will have to trot out an inexperienced freshman. Would rather have him stay (3%, 13 Votes)
