Rate your current level of confidence that Colorado will hire Deion Sanders to be its next head coach
- Medium. The signs are positive - national coverage, no denials from either party - but I won't be celebrating the hire until the ink is dry on the contract (51%, 218 Votes)
- Low. We're talking CU, right? If there is a way to miss this opportunity, CU will find it. I'm afraid we'll be talking this time next week about CU's "Plan B" choice, shaking our heads yet again (38%, 161 Votes)
- High. Sanders acknowledged that he had the offer, and didn't take the opportunity to say he wasn't interested. If Sanders wasn't in, CU would have named another coach by now (11%, 50 Votes)

Just for "fun": Which of the following would you rate as the worst team in CU football history?
- 2012 (1-11) - Fell behind Fresno State 35-0 - in the first quarter ... a loss to Sacramento State ... a 70-14 loss to Oregon ... gave up 48+ points in five straight games (39%, 136 Votes)
- 2022 (1-11) ... Gave up first drive touchdowns to seven opponents ... Set all-time opponent records for yards and points allowed ... Destroyed by four ranked November opponents (38%, 131 Votes)
- 1980 (1-10) - Fell behind UCLA 56-0 - at halftime of the opener ... a loss to Drake ... the epic 82-42 loss to Oklahoma ... the damning Sports Illustrated article after CU cut minor sports ... (20%, 69 Votes)
- 1890 (0-4) - The only team in Colorado football history to finish without a win. Plus, this team absorbed the worst-ever defeat (103-0 loss to Colorado Mines) in school history (3%, 11 Votes)

No. 14 Utah 63, Colorado 21. Thoughts?
- It's a "splash hire" or bust now for Rick George. Without positive momentum this off-season, Folsom Field will be 75% Nebraska red for the home opener next fall. Get it done, Rick! (47%, 162 Votes)
- 42-0 at the break. CU posted seven three-and-outs, one first down, and 18 total yards in the first half. If there was a worse team in college football in 2022, I must have missed it (28%, 95 Votes)
- Hats off to the seniors and the interim coaching staff. Down 42-0 at half, they kept playing and kept trying. It didn't work out as well as anyone would have hoped, but I do appreciate the effort (25%, 86 Votes)

It's time! (for the last time this season). Your prediction for CU v. No. 14 Utah (Saturday, 2:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks):
- It's still November, right? It's still the 2022 season, right? It's another game against a ranked team, right? It'll will be another loss by more than 30 points ... right? (63%, 141 Votes)
- The Buffs will be playing for their seniors, and will have a (smaller than usual) home crowd cheering for them. Utah will sleep walk to a victory, but it will be by less than the spread of 29.5-points (22%, 50 Votes)
- In 2011, in one of the worst seasons in CU history, Jon Embree and the Buffs went to Salt Lake City and upset the Utah. The Utes have nothing to play for, but the Buffs do ... CU in an upset! (15%, 33 Votes)

Rate your level of interest in CU hiring Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders as its next head coach
- High. Bringing "Prime Time" to Boulder would give CU instant credibility with recruits, and national recognition that Colorado is taking football seriously again (50%, 159 Votes)
- Doesn't matter what I think - there is no way Deion Sanders is coming to Boulder. He may feign an interest in order to get a better deal elsewhere, but there is zero chance he wants to be at CU (33%, 106 Votes)
- Low. A two-year head coach at a lower level conference, plus baggage from issues with his camps, plus the negative reaction he will get from CU academics ... better candidates are out there (10%, 32 Votes)
- Medium. Sanders hasn't been a head coach at the Power Five level, and has no connections to recruit in California and Texas. Plus, even with a 5-7 record (like Mel Tucker), Sanders would leave CU (7%, 21 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??? 🙂
