It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. California (Saturday, noon, MT, Pac-12 Networks)
- The Buffs have a new head coach, a new outlook, and fresh start. The lineup, though, consists of the same players. Buffs' energy keeps it close, and under two touchdowns, but Cal still wins the game (38%, 64 Votes)
- Well, the Buffs are two-touchdown underdogs and haven't beaten the spread once this season. No need to overthink it ... Bears in a rout (38%, 63 Votes)
- Call me a crazy optimist, but I think the stars are aligned for this one. A near sellout wills the Buffs to their first (and perhaps only?) win of the season! (24%, 41 Votes)

Other than No. 7 USC at No. 20 Utah (and, of course, CU v. Cal), which Pac-12 game will you be most interested in this weekend?
- Washington State at Oregon State (7:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Two early choices to challenge for the Pac-12, both are 1-2 in Pac-12 play. An elimination game in Corvallis (51%, 68 Votes)
- Stanford at Notre Dame (5:30 p.m., MT, NBC). The Irish haven't been world-beaters, but the Cardinal have been horrid. Can Stanford (like CU) rise from the ashes? (28%, 37 Votes)
- Arizona at Washington (3:30 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Formerly 4-0 Washington has lost two in a row. Can the Huskies regain some swagger against the Wildcats? (21%, 28 Votes)

Which of the following stories of the week brings for you the greatest "so what else is new?" shrug?
- That CU players are saying that "This is the fastest the defense has looked in three years". We've heard a lot about great practices for two months - call me when it translates to play on the field (69%, 159 Votes)
- That Nebraska extended its sellout streak - dating back to 1962 - via a donor who gave $21,000 to the University for discounted tickets ($10 each). Streak is a sham (and has been for years) (20%, 45 Votes)
- That the Big Ten commissioner says the conference is content with USC and UCLA, and is not looking to expand. That will be the story ... until it's not. Nothing's forever, but all's quiet for now (11%, 25 Votes)

Do you think the "Interim Coach Bump" might apply to the Buffs?
- I'm just want to see if the Buffs are still interested. If the team doesn't come out with fire this weekend (good crowd, beatable opponent), then they may as well forfeit the remaining games (64%, 135 Votes)
- The other schools, with perhaps the exception of Georgia Tech, were expecting winning seasons this fall, so it's not a stretch to see them winning some games with interim coaches - not so for CU (23%, 49 Votes)
- I don't see why not. Nebraska, ASU, Georgia Tech and Wisconsin are 6-3 with interim coaches, including two wins over ranked opponents. Why can't the Buffs enjoy a similar bump? (13%, 26 Votes)

Buffs a 14.0-point home underdog to Cal. Thoughts?
- Well, since CU has yet to cover this season ... take the Bears and don't think twice. The Buffs this weekend will get halfway to 0-12 (44%, 132 Votes)
- What stood out to me is that this is likely the lowest line CU will see the rest of the season. This was supposed to be one of CU's sure wins, wasn't it? It's been a long six weeks since Labor Day (34%, 100 Votes)
- Considering how other Power Five teams have done after firing their coaches, this may be the week the Buffs cover, and - while I'm not predicting it - get their first win (22%, 65 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??? 🙂
