Clemson coach Dabo Swinney believes that a national champion can still be crowned with three of the five Power Five conferences playing. Agree?
- Doesn't really matter what Swinney says. The SEC,ACC and Big 12 are merely putting off the inevitable. It will be either spring ball for everyone - or no season at all - for the 2020/21 academic year (55%, 107 Votes)
- Not a chance. The winner of the "playoff" would be no more a national champion than the winner of an April Rose Bowl. You can't have a national champ without national participation (26%, 51 Votes)
- Sure. Other than Ohio State, the Final Four in the playoffs would likely be Clemson, Alabama, and Oklahoma anyway. Just add another SEC team and call it good (19%, 37 Votes)

Neill Woelk: It's time for college football to have centralized leadership. Thoughts?
- Never gonna happen. Think the SEC will submit to a central authority? Perhaps sharing riches with other conferences? Surely, you jest (50%, 97 Votes)
- Very much agree. Conferences can't agree on when to play, or how to interpret medical advice ... and fans are left with chaos (33%, 64 Votes)
- I can understand the logic, but part of the charm of college football is the uncertainty and debate. To each (team and conference) their own (17%, 33 Votes)

Which quote from Rick George's press conference do you find most reassuring?
- "We budgeted for a season knowing that we wouldn’t put a lot of fans in the stadium. We already made those budget cuts" (38%, 63 Votes)
- "We’re not cutting anything that impacts the experience for our student-athletes. Health, nutrition, academics, leadership - we will not touch those areas" (37%, 61 Votes)
- “I’ve been pretty consistent on this - number one, we are not cutting sports. I told that to our student-athletes (Tuesday)" (25%, 40 Votes)

The Pac-12 joins the Big Ten in shutting down fall sports, while ACC and SEC indicate they intend to play. Thoughts?
- I feel bad for the players, but this was the right decision to make. The medical evidence does not support the idea of proceeding with collegiate athletics until the spring at the earliest (38%, 109 Votes)
- It was possible that there would be a cancellation at some point, but why now? What is so different from when the 10-game schedules were announced? They should have waited (at least) a few more weeks (32%, 94 Votes)
- If you look at it through black-and-gold colored glasses, it may be a blessing. CU was put in a deep hole by Mel Tucker. Teams will be on a more even footing once practices and games resume (30%, 87 Votes)

Reports: Conferences shutting down for the fall. Big Ten going first? Pac-12 voting on Tuesday? Mountain West out? Thoughts?
- It's just recognizing the inevitable. Fall Camps are opening up ... they have kicked the can down the road long enough. It's time to call it (54%, 109 Votes)
- We'll see how it plays out. If the Big Ten and/or Pac-12 don't want to play, but the other three conference do vote to play, the Big Ten/Pac-12 may have to reconsider (35%, 71 Votes)
- I'm just glad that it wasn't the Pac-12 to pull the trigger first (if in fact the Big Ten has voted not to play). The Pac-12 already has enough of an image problem (11%, 23 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??? 🙂
