If you had your choice, in what conference would CU be playing in 2024?
- Probably the best bet would be to get an invite to the Big 12, along with the other mountain schools, to be part of a new Big 16 (39%, 99 Votes)
- I'm still holding out hope for the Buffs to make it into a Big Ten Conference with 18-24 teams, and still play in the deep end of the college football pool (37%, 94 Votes)
- CU should play in a "new and improved" Pac-12 or Pac-16. Adding in San Diego State, Boise State, or BYU (?). It wouldn't get a big TV deal, but would still be a national player (12%, 31 Votes)
- Time to "embrace the suck" and head off to the Mountain West. CU won't be relevant nationally, but will have renewed interest locally with annual games against CSU, AFA and Wyoming (12%, 31 Votes)

USC and UCLA off to make their (hundreds of) millions in the Big Ten. Thoughts on the latest expansion bombshell?
- Let's take a few breaths before we call this a calamity. I'm not sure where CU will end up in all of this, but it may turn out that a revamped Pac-12/14/16 or Big 12/14/16 may be a better fit for CU (62%, 206 Votes)
- Once again (as was the case with the move to the Pac-12), CU is in a down cycle with expansion on the horizon. CU will be left standing when the music stops ... and has only itself to blame (31%, 104 Votes)
- I'm glad that the big boys are getting together. Hopefully, this will mean that the rest of college football (the other 100 or so teams not in the mega conferences) can get on with playing football (7%, 22 Votes)

Do you agree that perhaps the best way to save college football is through the appointment of strong commissioner?
- I'd like to see it, but I can't see it happening. The top 24-36 schools should just go off and form their semi-pro league, and let the rest of the country get back to college football (57%, 93 Votes)
- Yes. The NCAA is dead, and no rules are regulations are being enforced. Another governing body won't work - college football needs a strong leader who actually has authority to enforce rules (32%, 52 Votes)
- No. That would just be another band-aid. The NCAA already has rules on NIL and inducement, but isn't enforcing them. Schools which are benefitting from the chaos won't be willing to give up power (11%, 18 Votes)

What CU news story from the first of the week did you like best?
- That CU picked up two new commitments for the Class of 2023 - a speedy WR and a 16-year old OL whose 6'3", 303 ... and still growing (40%, 65 Votes)
- That CU is on pace to keep its season ticket holder base largely in tact despite a poor 2021 season and dire predictions for 2022 (38%, 61 Votes)
- That CU has restored its "Athletic Hall of Honor" (adding Jim Hansen and Dr. Eric McCarty), and has opened a new "Legacy Wing", honoring The Twins (12%, 19 Votes)
- That former Buffs Charlie Davis, Jay Leeuwenberg and Greg Biekert are among the honorees for this year's CU Athletic Hall of Fame (10%, 17 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from 6'2", 185-pound three-star wide receiver Wesley Greaves from Texas. Thoughts?
- I do like the fact that Greaves had some two dozen offers, including from service academies and the Ivy League. This appears to be a common thread for this coaching staff - smart players to develop (48%, 75 Votes)
- Good size and speed. A high school star who is certainly familiar with Power-Five football (coming from College Station). I'm good with this commitment (40%, 62 Votes)
- A third WR commit from the Class of '23? Doesn't CU have enough good but not great wide receivers to choose from? Shouldn't this scholarship be saved for a lineman - or a future transfer? (12%, 19 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??? 🙂
