Different bowl projections have CU going to Tampa (Gasparilla), Phoenix (Guaranteed Rate), or El Paso (Sun). Going?
  • Shhh ... You do realize that CU only has four wins, and had four wins before going into a tailspin last year? Please, no bowl talk until the Buffs get to six wins! (79%, 165 Votes)
  • Yes ... or at least maybe. I guess it depends on where the game is played, the opponent, and the date. But, if we're talking about CU bowl games in early October ... I'm in! (15%, 31 Votes)
  • No ... For starters, games are always around the holidays, which makes it tough to plan for and go to. Plus, CU's stars might all sit out the game, making it a hard-to-watch exhibition (6%, 14 Votes)

CU "Gold Rush" game against Kansas State set for 8:15 p.m., MT (ESPN) next weekend. Thoughts?
  • Hate it! The game will be over around midnight, and some fans will bail as a result. The "Gold Rush" won't work, either (have any gold CU jackets?). Not a fan (38%, 92 Votes)
  • CU may get a slight advantage (KSU players coming from central time zone, and the student section will be loud), but overall, it's not worth it (32%, 77 Votes)
  • I'm good with this. Yes, it's a late game, but CU is on national television after some big games (Ohio State/Oregon; Texas/Oklahoma; Penn State/USC). A late start gets more eyes on CU (30%, 75 Votes)

Which unit for the Buffs to you was the most impressive in CU's 48-21 win over Central Florida?
  • The defense. Again holding a team to a touchdown or less in the second half, four turnovers (including a fumble recovery for a score) were the difference in the game (78%, 238 Votes)
  • The offense. The Buffs put up 41 points, Shedeur completed 80% of his passes, while the offensive line produced a rushing attack and gave up only two sacks. 'Nuff said (20%, 61 Votes)
  • The special teams. Don't overlook Alejandro Mata's two field goals in the final minute of the half, Vassett's punting, and Jimmy Horn's 27-yard punt return. Quality in every phase (2%, 8 Votes)

Colorado 48, Central Florida 21. Thoughts?
  • A HUGE win! These last three games could be a turning point for the program. The Buffs will be one of the main stories of the weekend ... again! (48%, 185 Votes)
  • Wonder what the haters are going to come up with this week? CU played a complete game, on the road, against a Big 12 opponent. Savor the next two weeks, and we'll see you at the Gold Rush v. KSU! (34%, 131 Votes)
  • Love the win, but let's pump the brakes a little bit. All CU did was expose Central Florida as a team which was a paper tiger. Let's see how the Buffs fare against K-State (18%, 70 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for CU's first-ever game against Central Florida (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, Fox):
  • The amazing comeback win over Baylor is just the spark this team needed. They know they can win, and they'll take it to the Knights. Vegas might not see it coming, but I do ... Buffs win!! (50%, 100 Votes)
  • Central Florida is a strong team with a good quarterback. The Buffs will have their chances, but the Knights will win a close game (27%, 55 Votes)
  • Central Florida leads the nation in rushing, and the Buffs under Coach Prime have struggled on the road. Vegas sees this as a two-touchdown game for a reason ... Central Florida wins and covers (23%, 46 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
