Colorado opens as an 8.5-point favorite over Colorado State. Thoughts?
  • Apparently no one in Vegas was watching the Nebraska game. This Buff team is in disarray, and the blueprint for beating CU is well known. Disrespect the run, sack Shedeur, and control the clock (43%, 105 Votes)
  • Probably about right. This should be another typical Rocky Mountain Showdown ... the Buffs should win the game, but not before forcing the Buff Nation to stress out the victory (38%, 92 Votes)
  • More a reflection that CSU is not really very good than about anything CU has done. Glad the Buffs have a weaker opponent to play this weekend - get a big win, Buffs! (19%, 48 Votes)

Nebraska 28, Colorado 10. Thoughts?
  • So, Coach Prime has had two chances to create an offensive line, and whiffed on both attempts. Guess we know how the rest of the season is going to turn out. Wonder if Shedeur will finish the season (41%, 122 Votes)
  • As they say, the score is not indicative of the domination. The Buffs were down 14-0 ten minutes in, and never a threat the rest of the game. A complete beatdown and a complete embarrassment (33%, 100 Votes)
  • It was 28-0 at half, with a 28-10 final. The defense gave up 21 points and only 334 yards of total offense. Not much to build on, but at least it wasn't a 56-0 final (26%, 77 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado (+7.5) at Nebraska (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., MT, NBC)
  • The Buffs are much improved, and have a first-round draft pick at quarterback v. a freshman QB playing his second game. Buffs (again) shock the Cornhuskers and take home a big win (37%, 93 Votes)
  • This is going to be a good game. I expect both offenses to score, and for the lead to go back and forth. Not sure if the Buffs win, but I'll take CU and the points (37%, 92 Votes)
  • Let's be honest. The Buffs were less than impressive v. NDSU, and the Cornhuskers will play like this is their Super Bowl. Hate to say it, but I see Nebraska winning and covering (26%, 65 Votes)

Which matchup to you will be the most important in deciding the outcome of the CU/Nebraska game?
  • The CU offensive line v. the Nebraska defensive line. If the line can create holes for the running backs, and protect Shedeur, it could be a long evening for the Blackshirts (64%, 158 Votes)
  • The CU defensive line v. the Nebraska offensive line. If the CU line can't stop the run or generate a pass rush, Dylan Raiola will look like a world-beater (23%, 58 Votes)
  • Coach Prime v. Coach Rhule. Matt Rhule has proven he can rebuild a program; Coach Prime still has to prove himself. Game plans and in-game adjustments will decide this game (13%, 31 Votes)

CBS Sports has Colorado as its No. 54 team nationally (11th in the Big 12). Thoughts?
  • Probably about right. How many other 4-8 teams from 2023 who opened with a win which was less than dominant are ranked in top half of their conference? I'm guessing not many (46%, 91 Votes)
  • All you need to know is that CSU lost to Texas, 52-0, and actually went up two spots on the CBS list. National media knows the Top 25, and little else (37%, 73 Votes)
  • Way too low, both nationally and in the Big 12. I guess the Buffs will just have to take care of business on Saturday, and see what the pundits think of CU then (17%, 33 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??? 🙂
