Slight deviation (but CU men's basketball does have its first game on Oct. 30th). ESPN and CBS have CU as the 9th-best team in the Pac-12. Thoughts?
- So ... CU is underestimated? Isn't that true about almost every Tad Boyle team in the preseason? This team might start out slow, but, as Boyle put, they'll be "dangerous" next March (67%, 138 Votes)
- Seems low, but probably not too far off. Evan Battey and Jabari Walker left some very large shoes to fill, and I'm not sure the Buffs have enough inside to compete (20%, 42 Votes)
- Sorry, but I can't multi-task. Until the end of the football season (and probably until the next head coach is named), my focus will be on football. I'll check in with Boyle & Co. in January (13%, 27 Votes)

CU hires search firm of Eastman & Beaudine to assist in coaching hire. Thoughts?
- I don't know how this will work out, but with two months to find the right fit, the more qualified help CU can get, the more I like it. CU - and Rick George - can't afford another miss (77%, 216 Votes)
- Sad news ... The Eastman & Beaudine website claims to have helped CU hire Karl Dorrell ... so I'm not thinking this is a day to celebrate (14%, 38 Votes)
- Great news! This is the search firm who helped to identify Mel Tucker as an FBS coordinator who was ready to take on a Power Five head coaching position. I like this move (9%, 27 Votes)

CU has completed the first half of the 2022 season with a 1-5 record. What will be CU's record in the second half of the season?
- 1-5. Arizona State is probably the best chance at Win No. 2. Get past the Oregon State game with some dignity in tact, and a Homecoming win could happen (54%, 157 Votes)
- 2-4 ... or better. I don't know if you noticed, but the team which took the field against Cal is a different team than the disaster fielded by Karl Dorrell. This team will be competitive from here on (27%, 78 Votes)
- 0-6. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but CU's best chances at victories are in the rear view mirror. Enjoy the week, because it will be the last win of the season (19%, 55 Votes)

Colorado opens as a 23.0-point underdog on the road against Oregon State. Thoughts?
- As hard as it may be to hear after a big win, that's probably about right. Oregon State held Washington State to ten points, and WSU has a much better offense than does CU (48%, 159 Votes)
- Not really buying it. While Oregon State certainly should be favored, I don't know if they are good enough on offense to be a three-touchdown favorite. Take the Buffs and the points (37%, 120 Votes)
- Call me an optimist, but this Buff team has shown us something. If they can get the offense to be even minimally productive, the defense can make it happen. Drink the Sanford Kool-Aid - CU wins! (15%, 49 Votes)

Colorado 20, California 13, OT. Thoughts?
- A great win for the players! Congratulations to the team, the interim coaching staff, and the 50,000 fans who showed up. Everyone played a role in the win! (65%, 309 Votes)
- I'm just soooo glad that CU will not post its first winless season since the 19th century. CU still has miles to go to even be mediocre, but it's nice to get at least one win this season (26%, 124 Votes)
- Umm ... Where was this defense the first five games of the season? Nice to know that there is Power Five talent on this team, and that they can win Pac-12 games with decent coaching (9%, 44 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??? 🙂
