The LA Bowl has been renamed the "Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl". Thoughts?
- Not a fan. I a) don't like having the Pac-12 be associated with what will be a national joke; b) I don't think bowls should be named after individuals; and/or c) I don't like Jimmy Kimmel (52%, 129 Votes)
- Fine with it. There will be worthwhile charities which benefit from the proceeds, and, with minor bowls in jeopardy, it's good that the Pac-12 has a bowl with a new sponsor (34%, 84 Votes)
- It's okay, but I hope CU doesn't find itself playing in that bowl. It pits the No. 5 Pac-12 team v. the No. 1 Mountain West team. It's the toughest draw of all of the Pac-12 bowl games (14%, 33 Votes)

Report: Arizona State football program "deliberately, blatantly and consistently broke rules related to hosting players during the dead period". Thoughts?
- Amazing stuff. When you have "at least 30 players" visiting campus on what the coaches themselves described as "official visits" - even the NCAA can't ignore this (43%, 120 Votes)
- All I know, if this was CU, we'd be talking death penalty. But ... since the info came from within the ASU athletic department ... perhaps Herm Edwards is actually in trouble here (33%, 93 Votes)
- Yawn. The Sun Devils may get a slap on the wrist - lose some official visits; a few scholarships - but not enough to offset the recruiting advantages gained ... so no disincentive for future cheating (24%, 65 Votes)

Fictional 12-team playoff seasons - would CU have won more than one national championship?
- I don't know. The 1971, 1989 and 1994 teams were probably better than the 1990 team. Who knows? But it is fun to think about (51%, 88 Votes)
- Possible, but no guarantee. There's not even a guarantee that the 1990 team would have survived a playoff - that team was the first with two blemishes (a loss and a tie) to win the title (28%, 48 Votes)
- Almost certainly. The 1971, 1989, 1994 and 2001 teams could have joined the 1990 team. And if there were multiple titles, CU would have had even more chances to win it all (21%, 35 Votes)

Report: Expansion to a 12-team playoff format would triple Pac-12's revenue distribution. Thoughts?
- It's a wash. Any increase in income for the Pac-12 would be an increase for every other Power Five team. The discrepancies in media revenue wouldn't change - the Pac-12 would continue to lag behind (38%, 66 Votes)
- Sounds about right. Going from a $9 million payout per school per year to $27 million would certainly help to offset the COVID-year deficits. It's a good move on multiple levels (35%, 60 Votes)
- I'm not excited about the 12-team playoff for the extra revenue for CU, I'm excited that the expansion of the playoffs would give the Buffs a legitimate path to participation in the playoffs (27%, 47 Votes)

Which quote from CU Hall of Famer Chris Naeole (OG. 1992-96) do you like the best?
- “CU just became a central part of my family ... It’s just an important part of my life — all the connections, not only on the field, but off the field" (56%, 105 Votes)
- “All the good teams, you go to their second, third-team guys, they all can start somewhere ... There were so many talented guys that iron sharpens iron" (34%, 64 Votes)
- “Every year, guys are getting drafted ... CU gave me an opportunity to stage, to pursue my dream of playing in the NFL" (10%, 17 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??? 🙂
