Report: Pac-2 and Mountain West considering a merger with promotion and relegation. Thoughts?
- I like it! Serves their short term goal of being relevant nationally, as fans will want to tune in to late season meaningful games ... and may provide a model for the Power Four to use later (49%, 99 Votes)
- I hope it happens, so CSU fans can boast about how this is a path to the CFP (they already think that half the 9.3 million who watched Saturday were tuning in to watch them) (33%, 67 Votes)
- Not a fan. Sounds gimmicky to me. Do they think that a late season game between New Mexico and Utah State to determine a relegated team will cause that much of a stir? (18%, 35 Votes)

Which of the following Prime Effect factoids of the week is the most eye-opening?
- That ESPN's coverage had 9.3 million viewers, the most-watched late prime game in ESPN history, and the fifth-most watched game on ESPN EVER (62%, 180 Votes)
- That CU has now sold out all six home games - for the first time in school history. Even during the magical run from 1989-96, CU never sold out all of its home games ... Coach Prime is a magnet! (31%, 91 Votes)
- That ESPN's GameDay, with 2.3 million viewers, was the third-most watched September episode EVER, and that was with Fox's show - also featuring CU - on at the same time (7%, 20 Votes)

Fox will broadcast the game next weekend between No. 19 CU and No. 5 USC at 10:00 a.m., MT. Thoughts?
- If it means another nationally televised game for CU, and if the 9:00 a.m., body clock kickoff for the Trojans gives the Buffs an edge, then I'm in. Go Buffs, pick up first-ever win v. USC (64%, 202 Votes)
- Love it! Last time I checked, CU is 2-0 in 10:00 a.m., MT starts this fall ... and the early start beats the Hell out of having a game finishing at 12:35 a.m. on Sunday morning, like the CSU game (25%, 78 Votes)
- Hate it! Football should not be played in the morning. There is no time for proper tailgating! I hate how television is completely ruining the game day experience for actual fans (11%, 36 Votes)

No. 19 Colorado opens as a 20.5-point underdog to No. 10 Oregon (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, ABC). Thoughts?
- Anyone who has watched CU struggle along both lines will understand this line. The Buffs won't be able to stop the Oregon offense ... I'm actually surprised the line isn't higher (51%, 162 Votes)
- I'm not going to worry about Oregon just yet. I'm still reveling in watching my Buffs beat its two main rivals before sold out Folsom Field crowds ... I'll worry about Oregon in a few days (32%, 100 Votes)
- You're kidding, right? Wasn't the line for CU at No. 17 TCU 20.5-points? Seems like a cruel joke ... and I'm sure the Buffs will use this number to their advantage (17%, 54 Votes)

No. 18 Colorado 43, Colorado State 35 - 2OT. Thoughts?
- An amazing victory! A 98-yard drive in the final two minutes (and a two-point conversion!) just to tie the game. A huge win over an opponent that did all they could to try and upset the Buffs (36%, 128 Votes)
- Enjoy the next few hours and days, Buff Nation, as the negative press is about to descend upon the program. The Buffs were out-played by a three-TD underdog, and may be schooled by Oregon and USC (33%, 117 Votes)
- I don't care about Oregon and USC (just yet). I am going to enjoy what will become one of those "where were you when?" Buff victories. Oh, and "It sucks ... to be ... a CSU Ram!" (31%, 114 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??? 🙂
