Should CU be ranked in the "Way Too Early" 2021-22 men's basketball Top 25 projections?
- Probably should be, but won't. Just like Wilner's Top 25 (which includes five Pac-12 teams, but not CU), the Buffs will be excluded. Respect will have to be earned (again) next year (56%, 133 Votes)
- No. Until or unless a replacement is found for McKinley Wright (the transfer portal still being an option), the Buffs will be on the outside looking in when it comes to national recognition (24%, 56 Votes)
- Yes! The Buffs finished third in the Pac-12 this year (which, um, turned out to be a pretty good conference), and have a Top 15 Recruiting Class coming in. (20%, 47 Votes)

Who will you root for in the NCAA championship game between Gonzaga and Baylor?
- Gonzaga - A team from the west ... a team which will make history by becoming the first team to go undefeated since Indiana in 1976 - makes the UCLA game all the more impressive for the Pac-12 (77%, 220 Votes)
- Baylor - I'm a purist, and the Indiana record shouldn't fall to a team which coasted through the West Coast Conference. Plus, I'm still smarting over the UCLA game - Bruins should be playing (12%, 34 Votes)
- Neither. Once the Pac-12 run came to an end, my interest in the tournament came to an end as well (Plus, my bracket was blown the first weekend) (11%, 33 Votes)

New Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch has opened all spring practices to the public. Should CU?
- It would be nice ... but it's never going to happen. Fisch is an outlier, and the vast majority of schools (including CU) have gotten comfortable keeping fans away from practices (45%, 73 Votes)
- Yes. There's nothing going on in spring practices which would be a secret worth keeping. Let the fans in - and increase fan participation and interest (28%, 46 Votes)
- No. It's a distraction, and CU coaches and players have enough going on without having fans and message boards to worry about (27%, 45 Votes)

Which of the following odds to win the national championship do you find to be the most misstated?
- Utah at 200:1 ... Along with Colorado, the Utes are underrated. Utah is consistently in contention, and in a wide open South division, could surprise once again (53%, 92 Votes)
- Arizona State at 66:1 ... Las Vegas seems to love Herm Edwards. Wonder if the pundits noticed that Herm Edwards is 0-3 against lowly Colorado? I'm guessing not (28%, 48 Votes)
- Colorado at 200:1 ... The Buffs are lumped in with Washington State and Oregon State. Not surprised that Las Vegas doesn't have much faith in CU, but the Buffs are better than the Beavers and Cougars (10%, 18 Votes)
- UCLA at 150:1 ... Do you think that anyone in Las Vegas even bothered to look up the fact that the Bruins haven't posted a winning season since 2015? It's all on Chip Kelly's reputation - still (9%, 16 Votes)

Which statement from CU athletic director Rick George do you like the best?
- That the Colorado Rockies having fans in the stands makes him "cautiously optimistic" that CU will be allowed to have a full Folsom Field this fall (41%, 80 Votes)
- That recruiting will hopefully be moving off of a year-long dead period on June 1st, with at least a "quiet period" (allowing official visits) returning this summer (35%, 68 Votes)
- That Colorado's athletic department has conducted 14,395 COVID-19 tests with just 0.64 percent coming back positive. Quite an achievement, if you think about it (24%, 48 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??? 🙂
