With 308 all-time appearances in the Associated Press poll, CU leads the new 16-team Big 12. Thoughts?
- This tells me that CU has had a really bad run the past two decades. CU was in the Top 20 for decades, and now has slipped to 29th. Makes me miss the good old days when CU was a national fixture (71%, 126 Votes)
- This tells me that CU has a storied history, including a great history as a member of the Big 12. Added a few weeks last year ... looking forward to seeing that total grow in the next few years (16%, 28 Votes)
- This tells me that the new Big 12 has some work to do to garner national respect. CU is atop the list, but only 29th nationally. Former members Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and A&M are all higher (13%, 24 Votes)

Oregon at risk of losing bowl eligibility over poor grades. Thoughts?
- Wonder if there will be any national media stories about Coach Dan Lanning (Mr. "I'm all about the team") and his failure to get his "students" to class. I'm guessing no (40%, 59 Votes)
- I'm just basking in the glow of CU's best-ever APR score this spring, and glad that the national narrative about CU v. Oregon doesn't match the reality (34%, 50 Votes)
- Not really a story. Even if Oregon has to have their players take a class entitled: "The 'O' on your helmet stands for ______", they'll get the grades up (26%, 39 Votes)

NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel passes a guideline allowing for on field sponsor advertising. Thoughts?
- I'm still waiting for CU to cash in on stadium naming rights. CU has never been as popular, so the chance to get top dollar for Folsom Field advertising has never been better - get it done, Rick! (59%, 60 Votes)
- Not a fan. Plenty of advertising already all over the stadium (just wait to see how many ads are run on the new south scoreboard this fall), but the field of play should remain off limits (23%, 23 Votes)
- Sounds good. Take out the Pac-12 logos on the 20-yard lines, and replace them with Coors Light cans. It's gonna happen anyway, might as well have fun with it (18%, 18 Votes)

Do you consider it to be a positive or a negative that the Pac-12 "legacy" schools will retain the conference bowl tie-ins the next two seasons?
- Not concerned at this point. I'm not going to jinx anything by thinking about bowl games. Get CU to six bowl wins (hopefully in October), and I'll start worrying about bowl options (81%, 99 Votes)
- A Plus. With the Big 12 expanding to 16 teams and having so many evenly matched programs, there might be a squeeze on bowl options for the conference this fall (10%, 12 Votes)
- A Negative. They should have made teams from both conferences eligible for both sets of bowl tie-ins. With CU's popularity, the Buffs could have gotten a bigger bowl (9%, 11 Votes)

ESPN has Shedeur as a Tier Two (with an asterisk) quarterback. Thoughts?
- It's just nice that we are talking about a CU quarterback as being one of the best in the nation. How long has it been since we've had that conversation? (58%, 107 Votes)
- Considering the asterisk was that CU had a turnstile offensive line last season, it's fair to put Shedeur in the "wait and see how the season goes" category before anointing him top dog (24%, 44 Votes)
- So, Shedeur could be the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL draft, but he's behind four other quarterbacks in ESPN's rankings? Whatever (18%, 33 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??? 🙂
