How many more wins do Tad Boyle's Buffs need to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament?
- A win over one of the L.A. schools, and at least one game in the Pac-12 tournament. With those two quality wins, even a loss to an L.A. school and ASU would be forgiven (47%, 104 Votes)
- Beat either USC or UCLA this weekend, and I think the Buffs will be in. The resume just can't have four straight losses (three at home and one in the Pac-12 tournament) to end the season (32%, 70 Votes)
- The Buffs can lose to both of the L.A. schools, but can't have a bad loss (i.e., CU can't lose to Arizona State or in its first game in the Pac-12 tournament) (21%, 46 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from the anniversary of the hiring of Karl Dorrell gives you the most optimism about CU's future?
- Dorrell: "Two things were really important. I wanted to be able to hire the type of staff that would allow me to be successful ... the other part was the recruiting budget and where we needed to go" (76%, 167 Votes)
- George: "Everybody can talk through the process, and he knew the game ... but he was the right person. His calmness made me calm" (14%, 31 Votes)
- Dorrell: "(Rick George and I) drew on that history (of success in the '90's). There was so much crossover experience. I thought, 'Wow. this is round blocks into round holes' " (10%, 23 Votes)

Which transfer news of the day do you find to be the most interesting?
- Former Buff wide receiver K.D. Nixon is projected by a USC site to be a starter this fall. Hard to believe that Nixon will fare better in USC's WR room than he did at CU (73%, 185 Votes)
- Nebraska quarterback Luke McCaffrey transfers to Louisville. If he couldn't make it as a starter in the Big Ten, it's hard to see him making it in the ACC (17%, 44 Votes)
- Oregon quarterback Tyler Shough transfers to Texas Tech. A QB who couldn't make it the Duck offense is now going to be at pass-happy Texas Tech? Hard to see that working out (10%, 26 Votes)

What story from CU's weekend do you think will have the most lasting impact?
- That the CU women's basketball team won their fourth straight game (including first road sweep in eight years), putting them into the conversation for an NCAA tournament bid (43%, 112 Votes)
- Tad Boyle's Buffs break their two-game losing streak with a road win over Oregon State, ending talk (for now) of a late season swoon, while ensuring a bye in the Pac-12 tournament (38%, 100 Votes)
- The Buffs picked up a commitment from DE Carlton Madden, who, by his own reckoning - "They build their defense around players like myself" (19%, 49 Votes)

Buffs complete sweep over Oregon State Beavers with a 61-57 road win. Thoughts?
- Nice to beat a team we were supposed to beat, but the real challenge will be the home games against the L.A. schools. Tougher tests to come (40%, 93 Votes)
- The best part? CU will now have a bye for the first round of the Pac-12 tournament (a first), and will have better bracketology seeding next week (38%, 87 Votes)
- Great to pick up a road win (No. 5 this year, the most since joining the Pac-12), and finish the four-game road trip with a split. (22%, 51 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??? 🙂
