Which of the following nominated Buffs will be the first to be enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame?
  • RB Eric Bieniemy. He's been on the list the longest, and now has the name recognition of being a Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator. It's time (66%, 152 Votes)
  • DB Deon Figures. A Thorpe Award winner; three-time first-team All Big Eight performer ... and had the interception to seal CU's national championship. Figures checks all the boxes (20%, 46 Votes)
  • LB Matt Russell. A consensus first-team All-American and a Butkus Award winner, Russell led the defense through its most dominant stretch (1993-96) (14%, 32 Votes)

Which stat about the CU 2022 roster to you is the most surprising?
  • That over a quarter of the players who have left the team since the end of last year have yet to find a new home. I hope that the ones who want to continue playing can find scholarships before Fall (49%, 114 Votes)
  • That only about a dozen former players have found homes in Power Five conferences. I knew CU's roster was largely devoid of Power Five talent ... but I didn't think it was this bad (34%, 79 Votes)
  • That are almost a dozen former players who will be playing for FCS schools (or even lower divisions). Sad that the former coaching staff was this poor in evaluating talent (17%, 41 Votes)

Caesar's Sportsbook has CU at +6000 to win the Pac-12. Would you place that bet?
  • What I'm taking from the Caesar's Sportsbook odds is that the Buffs are about even with Arizona, even with Cal, and in better shape than Arizona State and Stanford ... sounds about right (36%, 60 Votes)
  • Worth a wager. The Coach Prime experiment is unprecedented, so who's to say it won't work out even better than we expect? With such a great payout, it's a bet actually worth taking (33%, 55 Votes)
  • Nope. Yes, CU will be much improved over the disaster which was the 2022 season, but I'm not taking a bet on CU winning the Pac-12, even with inviting odds (31%, 54 Votes)

Which of the following Athlon "Buffs who can impress this fall" do you think will be the most likely to be an All-Pac-12 player this fall?
  • LB Demouy Kennedy: A former top-35 recruit stuck in a talent-filled Alabama roster, Kennedy will shine this fall, and with the Pac-12 loaded with mobile quarterbacks, this is an important position (70%, 121 Votes)
  • WR Xavier Weaver: One of the most successful receivers in USF history, Weaver played in 40 games, with 21 starts and catching 116 passes for 1,735 yards and eight touchdowns. Like those numbers (17%, 30 Votes)
  • S Myles Slusher: An Arkansas transfer, Slusher is likely the most proven and best safety on the roster right now. He’s someone who can emerge as a leader on the backend of that defense (13%, 22 Votes)

Seems like "CU to the Big 12" discussion is heating again (and not just from Big 12 shill Dennis Dodd). Thoughts?
  • I'm just glad we have Coach Prime, and that CU is even in the discussion. CU had a bleak future six months ago, but now is an attractive candidate. Thank you, Coach Prime, for keeping CU relevant! (55%, 128 Votes)
  • Makes sense. The longer the Pac-12 media deal talks drag on, the more likely it sounds like it won't be a good deal. Can't blame CU administrators for looking into other options (33%, 77 Votes)
  • No way CU should be moving to the Big 12. No Power Five team has left their conference then gone crawling back. CU shouldn't be the first. The Pac-12 (even watered down) is better than the Big 12 (12%, 28 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??? 🙂
