What would be your reaction to a Pac-12 only schedule (from a competitive standpoint for CU)?
- I like it. Trading two road games (including a very difficult game against Texas A&M) for games against Oregon State and Cal? Not a bad trade off (40%, 52 Votes)
- Never gonna happen. The Pac-12 is isolated (and ignored nationally) enough as it is. Conference-only games will only help keep the Pac-12 from national relevance (31%, 40 Votes)
- I would not be a fan. Two of the games given up would be against Mountain West opponents - two games Buff fans are counting on to help the Buffs get to six wins and bowl eligibility (29%, 39 Votes)

Report: SEC schools may allow student-athletes to return to practices as early as June 1st. Thoughts?
- I just hope that Pac-12 leaders (and leaders in state's with Pac-12 teams) will watch what happens closely, and learn how best to protect their student-athletes - and make the season a reality (44%, 59 Votes)
- Not a surprise. The SEC drives the college football bus. Other conferences can either jump on board ... or be left behind (40%, 53 Votes)
- I don't see it actually happening. There are still too many questions to be answered before students - or student-athletes - should be back on any campus (16%, 22 Votes)

Which of the most recent quotes from Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott do you find to be the most intriguing?
- On Oregon governor banning group activity until October 1: "I’d hope and expect the officials in Oregon will stay open-minded and let the data and the science and let the medical experts guide us" (45%, 48 Votes)
- On sports without students on campus: "We’ve felt that if our campuses are uncomfortable having students back on campus, we could not envision having student-athletes back on campus competing" (31%, 33 Votes)
- On the possibility of fans in the stands: "I would expect there are differences state-by-state in terms of when fans are allowed to attend games" (24%, 25 Votes)

Pac-12 Statement: “The Pac-12 and our member universities will make our own determination on when our student-athletes can return to play"
- Much ado about nothing. There will be news - and decisions made - in the next few weeks/months, but nothing that any entity/individual says right now has little bearing on the final decision-making (68%, 115 Votes)
- Whistling past the graveyard. The Pac-12, as we have seen from the pronouncements from state officials in Oregon and California, isn't a factor. It won't matter what the Pac-12 wants/thinks/says (23%, 38 Votes)
- I like it. The Pac-12 needs to be at the forefront of this discussion, and conference members need to act in a unified manner (9%, 15 Votes)

The Recruiting Class of 2021 is committing at a record pace, but CU has only two commitments. Thoughts?
- It is what it is ... just another example of how far behind CU was put by the departure of Midnight Mel. It's going to take months - perhaps years - to get caught up on recruiting (45%, 105 Votes)
- Some 424 prospects of the 627 commits did so after the shut down. If official visits return this summer/fall, there will also be a historic number of de-commitments ... and CU can catch up (30%, 70 Votes)
- It's worrisome - Some 627 commits already (compared to 302 at this time last year). Seems like CU is missing out on the Recruiting Class of 2021 ... and there's not much they can do about it (25%, 60 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??? 🙂
