Which of the following numbers concerning the CU/Cincinnati game to you are the most "eye-brow raising"?
- That both Colorado and Cincinnati are 5-2, with 3-1 records in Big 12 play. Not bad - kind of shocking, actually - that two teams which went a combined 2-16 in conference play last year are 6-2 now (38%, 90 Votes)
- That Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby is 14th in the nation in passing, and the Bearcats are 24th nationally in scoring. Cincinnati has a better offense than I expected (33%, 80 Votes)
- That Colorado is 13th in the nation in sacks, and 38th in the nation in third down defense. Numbers which are a far cry from anything we've seen from the Buffs in years (29%, 69 Votes)

ESPN rates both Colorado (5-2, 3-1) and Cincinnati (5-2, 3-1) as "long shots" in the Big 12 race. Thoughts?
- I'm just glad to be in a fall where we are a week before Halloween, and my Buffs are still relevant in the world of college football. Life is good! (44%, 104 Votes)
- Sounds about right. Both teams are good, but have flaws. Saturday night in Boulder is a Big 12 elimination game - which makes this game all the more enticing (33%, 77 Votes)
- I'm not reading anything about bowls or other future possibilities until CU gets to six wins. We've had these hopes crushed before, so don't jinx anything! (23%, 54 Votes)

5430 Alliance announces partnership with Taco Bell. Thoughts?
- I don't like the world of collegiate sports we are living in right now, but, if the NCAA is a non-existent body for enforcement, I guess we have to get as many dollars as we can into the program (47%, 97 Votes)
- Great news! If CU is going to compete in the brave new world of NIL and paid players, this type of investment is crucial for the Buffs to remain competitive (37%, 75 Votes)
- Be interested to see the fine print of the contract. Is this a short term deal, which expires when Shedeur and Travis leave? Is there an out clause for Taco Bell if Coach Prime leaves? (16%, 33 Votes)

CU opens as a 3.5-point home favorite over Cincinnati (8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN). Thoughts?
- Write off the Bearcats at your peril. Cincinnati is six points away from being undefeated. It's going to be a tough battle, and the line reflects that sentiment (48%, 112 Votes)
- Both teams were disappointments last year; both have exceeded expectations this year. I just hope that the Buffs learned their lesson from the big UCF game, and don't read press clippings all week (36%, 84 Votes)
- Like every other betting line, this will move in favor of the Buffs. CU is a complete team, and will play with great confidence against Cincinnati. Take the bet now, before the line moves! (16%, 37 Votes)

- The amazing offense. Almost 150 yards rushing! Only one sack allowed! There were turnovers, but that's all that kept this from being 54-7 (3%, 10 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??? 🙂
