Where do you think Shedeur Sanders will rank in the list of top Pac-12 quarterbacks in 2023?
- The top third. There has already been some dark-horse Heisman talk around Sanders, and with the athletic skill position talent CU is acquiring, it's not a stretch (50%, 175 Votes)
- The middle third. Sanders is a quality quarterback, but in a Pac-12 with Caleb Williams, Michael Penix, Bo Nix and other returning starters, there's no shame in being in the middle third in Year One (45%, 160 Votes)
- The bottom third. Only Cal and Stanford have questions at quarterback. In a conference with so many tested starters, Sanders will need start at the bottom (at least in perception) and work his way up (5%, 18 Votes)

CU currently has 31 new players for the 2023 roster. CU is allowed to have 85 scholarship players on its roster come August 1st. How many names on the roster will be new?
- 40-45. Coach Prime will settle on about half of the roster being turned over in his first year. There is still plenty of excitement to come, with another dozen or so transfers coming to Boulder (44%, 149 Votes)
- Over 45. Coach Prime wants to win, and he wants to win now. From his first speech to the team on Day One, he has been honest about the roster. Wholesale changes will continue through the spring (39%, 131 Votes)
- 35-40. There are still some additions to be made, but it will start slowing down now. Most of the roster (thankfully) has been upgraded. A few defensive linemen from now, we'll have our 2023 roster (17%, 55 Votes)

CU now has commitments from seven new wide receivers (including three four-star prospects). Thoughts?
- It's great that Coach Prime has been able to attract four-star skill position players, but I'm still concerned about the lines on both sides of the ball. CU still needs beef in order to compete (35%, 120 Votes)
- I just find it hard to believe that CU can pick up two four-star wide receivers on Christmas weekend ... and we're not shocked by the news! Coach Prime is certainly leading the Buffs into a new world (34%, 117 Votes)
- Love it! CU's new four-star quarterback now has a four-star running back and a bevy of highly-rated wide receivers. I can't wait for the Sean Lewis to take the field next September! (31%, 108 Votes)

What has been the greatest present given to the Buff Nation by Coach Prime this holiday season?
- Restoring confidence and a sense of pride in being a Buff fan. We have been down for so long, it was hard to remember being relevant in the nation conversation. No "relegation" for CU now! (51%, 161 Votes)
- The decision, whether made directly or indirectly, to update CU's transfer policy. Last year, CU's Transfer Class was rated 79th in the nation; this year 5th. Without the new policy, no Coach Prime (28%, 90 Votes)
- A roster which has already been upgraded to the point where Buff fans can realistically expect to compete in the Pac-12. Impossible to imagine that statement being true a month ago (21%, 67 Votes)

Which unit on the team to you remains the greatest need from the Transfer Portal?
- Defensive line. Some beef and talent has been added, but with the ton (literally) of players added to the offensive line, the D-Line is now the greatest area of concern (80%, 315 Votes)
- Another quality quarterback. Keeping Straub in the fold on Signing Day was a plus, but CU's offense is an injury to Shedeur away from struggling. A quality (experienced) backup would be nice (13%, 51 Votes)
- The defensive backfield. Yes, picking up the No. 1 recruit in the nation is beyond fantastic, but Travis Hunter can only shut down his corner of the playing field. Quality help at safety would help (7%, 28 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??? 🙂
