Karl Dorrell: "We are moving forward with the subtle changes that we did make ... No change in roles, from a play-calling standpoint". Thoughts?
  • Are you kidding? Does Dorrell want to play before an empty stadium? The Buffs have lost by three touchdowns or more for three straight games. "Subtle changes" ... to get us within two scores? Yuck (47%, 142 Votes)
  • I'm still in "wait and see" mode. The proof will be in the pudding. If these "subtle changes" make a difference, then he is vindicated. Hoping for the best ... but I have my doubts (42%, 126 Votes)
  • What would you expect? "We've pushed the panic button and made wholesale changes to try and save our jobs"? There is no free agent market for players or coaches, so you make do with what you have (11%, 34 Votes)

Colorado (1-4, 0-2) opens as a six-point favorite over Arizona (0-5, 0-2). Thoughts?
  • CU is averaging 8.5 points per game against FBS competition. I'm hoping that there are changes behind the scenes. If not, Arizona breaks its losing streak; CU's losing streak hits five games (62%, 156 Votes)
  • Sounds about right. With a three-point edge for being at home, it seems like Las Vegas sees the Buffs as being about a field goal better at a neutral site. I see the Buffs winning, but not covering (26%, 66 Votes)
  • Only a six-point spread against a team which hasn't won in two years, and just lost its quarterback. Give me the Buffs - it's going to be a fun Saturday! (12%, 30 Votes)

Prediction for CU's record the final seven games: Arizona; at Cal; at Oregon; Oregon State; at UCLA; Washington; at Utah
  • Right now, with the worst offense (by far) in the Power Five, I honestly can't see CU winning another game this year. A 1-11 season ... with many tears (36%, 91 Votes)
  • A win over Arizona ... and we're likely done. I can't see the Buffs being favored - or winning - any other games this season (21%, 54 Votes)
  • Two wins and five losses. Arizona and ... some other upset. A 3-9 season ... and some major changes in the coaching staff (and a QB through the Transfer Portal) (21%, 53 Votes)
  • To be honest, I'd be ecstatic with three wins - Arizona; Cal, and maybe Oregon State or Washington at home. A 4-8 record, and at least some optimism for 2022 (17%, 43 Votes)
  • Call me a cockeyed optimist, but this team isn't as bad as it's shown to date. Let's go for five wins and a bowl bid! (5%, 12 Votes)

It's (not really) time! Your way-too-early prediction (we'll do this again next week) for CU v. Arizona (next Saturday, 1:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
  • The last team the Arizona Wildcats beat? Um, Colorado ... in Boulder. The Buffs are beaten up and beaten down. Until proven otherwise, there is no reason to bet on these Buffs (41%, 80 Votes)
  • Let's wait and see how the Wildcats fare against UCLA Saturday night. If Arizona can get it together against the Bruins, my fear of the game next weekend will increase exponentially (40%, 78 Votes)
  • I have a good feeling about this. The Buffs will be coming off a bye, at home, and playing against a team which hasn't won in two calendar years. Go Buffs! (19%, 36 Votes)

Which of the following Pac-12 games for you holds the most interest?
  • None of the above. I, like my Buffs, am taking the weekend off. I need a break from college football, thank you very much! (37%, 83 Votes)
  • Stanford at No. 22 Arizona State (Friday) - ASU favored by 13 points. Can Stanford pull off two upsets in a row? Is ASU the clear favorite in the Pac-South? (36%, 81 Votes)
  • Utah at USC - Trojans a 3.0-point favorite. An elimination game in the Pac-12 South division race? (19%, 42 Votes)
  • UCLA at Arizona - Bruins a 16.0-point favorite. Will the Wildcats come to Boulder on a 16-game losing streak? Or will the Wildcats upset the Bruins in the desert? (5%, 11 Votes)
  • Oregon State at Washington State - Beavers favored by 3.5-points. Both teams coming off of impressive wins - which program is an actual contender in the North division? (3%, 7 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
