It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at Arizona (2:00 p.m., MT, Fox)
- It's time ... for the Buffs to show that they are a bowl team, and perhaps more. Arizona is a flawed team, and CU has the tools to exploit the flaws. C'mon Buffs, take it to the Wildcats! (71%, 137 Votes)
- It's going to be a back-and-forth game, and either team can win it. I'm hoping it's the Buffs, but I wouldn't be surprised if the ball bounced the other way. Too close to call (22%, 43 Votes)
- The way to beat the Wildcats is by running the ball, and CU can't do that. The Buffs will have their chances, but I'm seeing a frustrating loss in the desert (7%, 14 Votes)

Other than CU at Arizona, the Big 12 game this weekend which for me holds the most interest is ...
- Oklahoma State at No. 13 BYU (Friday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN). I'm not sure which would be more surprising ... that BYU could be 7-0 after Friday night, or that Oklahoma State could be 3-4 (39%, 62 Votes)
- Kansas State at West Virginia (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., Fox). We'll know that K-State is for real in the Big 12 race if they can knock off the Mountaineers on the road (33%, 52 Votes)
- Arizona State at Cincinnati (Saturday, 10:00 a.m., MT, ESPN+). CU's next opponent faces 5-1 Arizona State, but an ASU team starting Jeff Sims (a/k/a Mr. Turnover for Nebraska) at quarterback (28%, 43 Votes)

At the midway point of the 2024 season, CU has a 4-2 record (same as last year). Betting $1,000 of your own dollars, CU's final regular season record will be ...
- 6-6 or 7-5. You can make an argument for CU winning every game left on the schedule, and an argument for them losing every game. I'm confident CU will win at least two or three (64%, 161 Votes)
- 8-4 or higher. Anything short of a 4-2 finish for this team will be a disappointment. Better depth, and two first round draft picks on the roster ... Buffs just need to take care of business (29%, 74 Votes)
- 4-8 or 5-7. You do remember that CU went from 4-2 to 4-8 last season, don't you? The coaching staff has a game plan which doesn't run the ball, and can't stop the run (7%, 16 Votes)

The best part of the news that Travis Hunter, Jimmy Horn, and Will Sheppard will be available this Saturday
- The ability to watch Travis Hunter - period. There are only six (hopefully seven or more) games left with Travis Hunter wearing the black-and-gold. CU fans need to savor every chance to watch him play (53%, 119 Votes)
- The impact on the defense. With CU facing one of the top wide receivers in the nation in UA's Tetairoa McMillan (T-Mac), having one of the best cornerbacks in the nation available is a must (26%, 59 Votes)
- The impact on the offense. With CU's non-existent rushing attack, being without 3-of-4 of CU's top WR's could have been disastrous (sorry to get confirmation on Omarion Miller, though) (21%, 47 Votes)

CU's Family Weekend game against Cincinnati has been set for 8:15 p.m., MT, on ESPN. Thoughts?
- I hate this. Another late, late start. Might be good for ratings, but it's terrible for the average fan, not to mention any east coast CU fans who might want to watch the game (70%, 144 Votes)
- This makes 9-for-9 for Colorado and national telecasts, besting last season's eight. For perspective: the 1990 national championship team was on national television seven times. Wow! (20%, 41 Votes)
- If I remember correctly, the Big 12 TV contracts require each team have a home game on ESPN+, so the Utah game will be ESPN+? A statement as to how far Utah has fallen, I guess (10%, 20 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??? 🙂
