Rate your interest in the news that Arizona State has self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2023 season.
  • Low. Sorry, but it's - finally - game week. All news which doesn't involve my Buffs or the dreaded Horned Frogs is not on my radar. I'll care about ASU when we get to ASU week (73%, 186 Votes)
  • Medium. With the 20+ seniors on the ASU team "devastated" by the news, I'm seeing an added advantage when CU plays the Sun Devils in early October (22%, 57 Votes)
  • High. Considering that the NCAA has yet to even give ASU a Notice of Allegations, ASU is really seeing the writing on the wall here. Here's hoping for severe penalties down the road (5%, 13 Votes)

Which recent roster move will have greatest impact on the Buffs this season?
  • That linebacker Juwan Mitchell has joined the Buffs. Mitchell had 43 tackles for Tennessee last season, and led Texas in tackles in 2020. A great late addition (if he can stay out of trouble) (48%, 126 Votes)
  • That offensive lineman Tyler Brown was denied eligibility. A third-team All-American at Jackson State, Brown really could have helped the offensive line this fall. A disappointing loss to the roster (44%, 116 Votes)
  • That running back Sy’veon Wilkerson has been declared eligible. Wilkerson was a first-team All-SWAC performer, rushing for 1,152 yards for Jackson State last year. He'll be a factor this fall (8%, 21 Votes)

CBS Sports has CU as one of the Pac-12's "overrated" teams. Thoughts?
  • Let's see. CU was 1-11 last year, and is predicted to win 3.5 games this fall, but is still "overrated"? The pundits really have their knives sharpened for Coach Prime to fail, don't they? (65%, 129 Votes)
  • The quote: "The Buffaloes are still likely to finish at the bottom of the league in 2023" tells me everything I need to know. Any writer who refers to the "Buffaloes" doesn't know CU football (19%, 37 Votes)
  • I guess it's a matter of perspective. Very few outside of the most rabid Buff fans are predicting huge success for CU, but it's probably true that expectations for this fall may need to be tempered (16%, 34 Votes)

Best guess: Who will be CU's starting running back against TCU on September 2nd?
  • Trick question ... McCaskill is the choice if you are talking about the rest of the season, but CU is bringing him along slowly. Edwards will start v. TCU, but it will be McCaskill later (43%, 115 Votes)
  • Houston transfer Alton McCaskill. As a freshman for the Cougars, McCaskill had almost 1,000 yards rushing. He's a three-down back, and is CU's best option (22%, 59 Votes)
  • Kentucky transfer Kavosiey Smoke. Under the radar for Fall Camp, Smoke has the most experience, and experience for Coach Prime's grand opening will make the difference (20%, 53 Votes)
  • Four-star freshman Dylan Edwards. The former Notre Dame commit has been impressing everyone with his speed. My guess is that you'll see #3 as the starter on September 2nd (15%, 43 Votes)

The season opener is now less than ten days away. As the TCU game approaches, rate your level of apprehension that the Coach Prime experiment won't work out as well as hoped
  • Low. It's been an amazing nine month ride on the Coach Prime train, and I am more excited than ever to get the season going. CU is going to shock college football - and we'll have front row seats! (48%, 140 Votes)
  • Medium. I know there will be disappointments, but you're asking a fan base which endured the humiliation of the 2022 season if they are worried about 2023? Literally cannot be any worse (44%, 129 Votes)
  • High. I thought the 20-point spread against the Horned Frogs and the 3.5 over/under win total were absurd when they were first posted, but they haven't moved in months. Perhaps Vegas knows something? (8%, 23 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??? 🙂
