Which of the following Big 12 games to you is the most interesting this weekend?
  • Texas Tech (4-1, 2-0) at Arizona (3-1, 1-0). Two future road games for CU. The winner might start to look like a Big 12 contender. The loser? Might look at little more vulnerable to a CU road win (50%, 143 Votes)
  • UCF at Florida. If the Knights win (and perhaps end the Billy Napier era in Gainesville), it will only help enforce CU's big win as legitimate (28%, 80 Votes)
  • None of the above. It's a bye week for the Buffs, so it's a bye week for me. Time to reintroduce myself to my friends and family, and take a weekend off (20%, 58 Votes)
  • West Virginia at Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers aren't great, but the Cowboys are 3-2, 0-2. A loss here for OSU, and the CU Black Friday game against the Cowboys may start to look a little easier (2%, 7 Votes)

Which of the following do you think is the MOST likely to occur this season?
  • The Buffs win eight or more games. With four wins in the bank, and seven games left to play, going 4-3 seems reasonable. Oh, and the Buffs will be ranked at some point this season (46%, 115 Votes)
  • Travis Hunter wins the Heisman Trophy. If Hunter can stay healthy, the "most outstanding college football player in the United States whose performance epitomizes great ability" is Hunter (35%, 88 Votes)
  • That the Buffs are competing for a Big 12 championship game berth in mid-November. The conference is wide open, and the Buffs will be competitive in every game from here on in, so why not? (19%, 46 Votes)

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)

  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??? 🙂
