The Athletic is projecting that CU may have two 10:00 a.m. (MT) games to open the 2023 season. Thoughts?
- Well, we already know that the TCU "Big Noon Saturday" game will be at 10:00 a.m., MT. Having back-to-back nationally televised games will be good for recruiting, so I'm in! (50%, 107 Votes)
- Not a fan. Yes, we did have a few early Thanksgiving Friday games against the Cornhuskers back in the day, but this game deserves a 1:30 or 5:30 kickoff. How raucous can we be at 10:00 a.m.? (25%, 54 Votes)
- CU can use fall practices to get ready for early games, while Nebraska's first game is a night game (at Minnesota). If that creates an advantage for my Buffs ... Let's do it! (25%, 51 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from senior defensive end Khairi Manns from Maine. Thoughts?
- Manns has plenty to prove to the college football world. CU is bringing in plenty of talented players where this is a common theme. I like getting players with a chip on their shoulder (48%, 117 Votes)
- I'm not really a fan of this one. CU is down to its last 7-8 scholarships. Is an unranked defensive end from the Colonial Athletic Conference the best option? I was hoping for a bigger splash (30%, 72 Votes)
- Like it! CU was dead last in the nation in sacks last season, so any help the Buff coaches can find to aid the pass rush is okay with me. In Coach Prime we trust! (22%, 54 Votes)

What do you like best about the potential starting lineup on defense for the 2023 campaign?
- That the influx of defensive line recruits (nine since the Spring Game) has helped turn the front of the defense from a huge concern to a potential strength (41%, 80 Votes)
- That other than Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain, all of the projected starters are upperclassmen (and I can live with having that pair of shutdown corners take the field as underclassmen) (35%, 68 Votes)
- That there are pass rushers aplenty in the front seven, some of whom had more sacks in the past year than CU posted as a team in 2022 (9 - dead last in the nation) (24%, 49 Votes)

Dan Patrick: "What if [Deion] goes 0-5? And he might. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be successful”. Thoughts?
- I'm just enjoying CU being a part of the national narrative on a daily basis. You can't please everyone, so just ignore the noise and enjoy the ride! (62%, 157 Votes)
- I guess I must have missed out on "The Rise" in Ft. Collins. But the fact remains that CU has three ten-win teams and Nebraska in the first five games. A 1-4 start is not out of the question (26%, 67 Votes)
- What a joke! Yes, CU has to play TCU, Oregon and USC in the first month, but 0-5? Anyone who says "hey, they were 1-11 last year" has no clue about the 2023 Buff roster (12%, 29 Votes)

What do you like best about the potential starting lineup on offense for the 2023 Buffs?
- A no-brainer: having a quarterback with legitimate NFL aspirations in Shedeur Sanders. Last year, CU started four different QB's - none are even on a Power Five team this fall. 'Nuff said (52%, 129 Votes)
- Quality depth along the offensive line. CU may not have the best set of starters in the conference, but it is miles ahead of what CU had last season, and that is going to make a huge difference (25%, 61 Votes)
- Skill position talent. Four-star wide receivers and four-star running backs aplenty. I can't wait for Sanders & Co. to show how well they can run the fast-paced Sean Lewis offense (23%, 56 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??? 🙂
