Which of the following Big 12 conference opening weekend to you is the most interesting?
- No. 12 Utah at No. 14 Oklahoma State - 2:00 p.m., MT, Fox ... A battle for supremacy atop the Big 12, especially if Cam Rising is available for the Utes (92%, 218 Votes)
- No. 13 Kansas State at BYU - 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPN ... Both teams are 3-0. Kansas State has looked like a Playoff contender. Can the Cougars pull off the upset? (5%, 11 Votes)
- Kansas at West Virginia - 10:00 a.m., MT, ESPN2 ... Formerly ranked Kansas is 1-2 and at risk of falling to 1-3 ... perhaps CU's trip to Arrowhead Stadium might not be as hard as we feared (3%, 9 Votes)

Colorado State, Wyoming, and Air Force all in the CBS Sports Bottom 25. Thoughts?
- Really poor timing for these teams. The Mountain West is disintegrating, with CSU heading for the Pac-6, and Air Force (reportedly) heading for the AAC. Wyoming is likely to be left out in the cold (43%, 80 Votes)
- Since I am a CU homer, it doesn't bother me to CSU losing, and, since Wyoming is a 2025 opponent for CU, I don't mind having a gimme game against the Cowboys on next year's home slate (32%, 58 Votes)
- It's a sad day when every front range team from the Mountain West is struggling. Not really upset about CSU; surprised that Air Force is not doing well (25%, 46 Votes)

Travis Hunter named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. Thoughts?
- Not bad for someone who had five tackles, an interception, and one pass break up ... Big 12 really just recognizing Hunter's overall contribution to the game. I'll take it! (45%, 84 Votes)
- Indicative of how the rest of the world doesn't know how to deal with Hunter. Hope the Heisman trophy voters will also be able to recognize Hunter's overall contributions (28%, 52 Votes)
- Couldn't help but notice that Kansas State's Dylan Edwards was named the Big 12 Special Teams player of the week (punt return for a touchdown). Wouldn't have minded keeping Edwards on the roster (27%, 50 Votes)

CU opens as a 1.0-point favorite over Baylor. Thoughts?
- A 1.0-point margin means that, at a neutral site, Vegas would be picking the Bears to win. We'll see. It's definitely shaping up to be a close game ... fingers crossed for the Buffs (50%, 120 Votes)
- Looks like Vegas was watching the Georgia/Kentucky game, and didn't see how well the Buffs did against the Rams. Buffs, at home, against a team which went 3-9 last year and has an injured QB? CU wins (26%, 62 Votes)
- It's too much to assume that CU has fixed many, if any, of its major problems. CSU is a mediocre Mountain West team. I expect the Bears will be a much tougher opponent ... and likely winner (24%, 57 Votes)

Colorado 28, Colorado State 9. Thoughts?
- A very nice win. The Buff defense played well, finally getting some turnovers, with the offense doing well enough running and passing to take care of business (44%, 145 Votes)
- Glad to get win No. 2, but throwing the ball to Travis late (to get him to 100 yards) and with less than two minutes to play, doesn't sit well. Run out the clock - padding stats is not a good look (33%, 110 Votes)
- Best part? Putting CSU in the rear view mirror for the next five years. Still plenty of work to be done, but the definitive win will shut up (some) of the naysayers (for at least a week) (23%, 76 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??? 🙂
