If you had your choice, how many teams would participate in the College Football Playoff?
  • Eight - Five Power Five champions plus three wild cards. Gives conference champions a chance (including the Pac-12) while allowing other Power Five conferences to have multiple entries when deserved (65%, 190 Votes)
  • Ten; 12 ... or more. The more or merrier. The FCS has gone from 16 to 20 teams without any issues. Bring in a host of teams, play early games on campus ... and sit back to watch the fun (17%, 49 Votes)
  • Six - Put in the Power Five champions and a representative from the Group of Five. Gives everyone a chance at the national title every season (15%, 44 Votes)
  • Four - Leave it as is. Any more teams, and you will dilute the process (and make it all the more likely to have an all-SEC championship game) (3%, 10 Votes)

Which quote about CU's offense from the last two weeks of practices gives you the most optimism about CU's 2021 season?

  • "Super senior" OL Kary Kutsch: “I’ve made a jump every year ... The longer I spend here, the more my confidence builds, and that also helps ... I think focusing on (left guard) will help a lot" (33%, 52 Votes)
  • Karl Dorrell on RB Alex Fontenot: “Really what I saw on film in 2019 is what I saw Alex Fontenot do ... He’s gonna have some great value for us in our backfield" (17%, 27 Votes)

CU's offensive and defensive lines have been shorthanded due to injuries this spring. Thoughts?
  • Glass half full. As Karl Dorrell put it when asked about players who are on the field this spring, “They’re getting a ton of reps, they’re getting better and they’re seeing it, too" (56%, 105 Votes)
  • Not good news. Games are won in the trenches. CU is losing (rare) practice time, which will only hurt the Buffs come this fall (28%, 52 Votes)
  • Probably doesn't matter too much, but it will give coaches an out to not have much of a spring "showcase" next Friday, giving CU fans nothing to watch from December to September (16%, 30 Votes)

  • "All these players are practicing and working on their skill sets and learning our system are all chomping at the bit about getting some meaningful reps ... They're getting a chance to shine" (19%, 39 Votes)
  • "This team responds to constructive criticism, the constructive work we were talking about at that time" (13%, 25 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??? 🙂
