Jon Wilner: Rating the Pac-12's Quarterback Comfort Quotient (QBCQ), Colorado comes in last. Thoughts?
  • Wilner tends to be negative, but in this instance, he's right. Until or unless Brendon Lewis (or J.T. Shrout) can prove they can win with regularity in the Pac-12, CU will be a question mark (69%, 134 Votes)
  • Wilner tends to be negative towards CU, which is reason enough to ignore his rankings (though Buff fans need to be prepared for another 100 days of negative reports about the Buffs and their chances) (21%, 40 Votes)
  • Wilner tends to be negative towards CU, and here it's unwarranted. No fewer than seven Pac-12 teams will be starting transfers - and they're all better than a returning starter? I don't think so (10%, 19 Votes)

What factoid about junior defensive lineman Jalen Sami do you like best?
  • That Sami, despite having already been coached by three head coaches and SIX position coaches ... still has two years of eligibility remaining (69%, 103 Votes)
  • That, despite being 6'6", 320-pounds in high school, Sami was an "overlooked" two-star recruit, and fought his way up to being a starter for a Power Five conference school (20%, 30 Votes)
  • That Sami, as a freshman, was the last line of defense, and saved the game against Washington by making a tackle on a punt return (11%, 16 Votes)

What is your "hope" for the Buffs this upcoming season?
  • A six win season and a bowl berth. With a tough schedule and a thin roster, Buff fans need to be realistic about their expectations for 2022, and a bowl berth is a worthy - and achievable - goal (51%, 109 Votes)
  • A competitive team. It's hard to see this team finding a way to six wins, but I am hopeful that the Buffs will be competitive in every game, and perhaps pull off a few upsets to give us hope for '23 (46%, 98 Votes)
  • A Pac-12 South division title and a berth in the title game. You've got to believe in this coaching staff and this team. Buffs are undefeated until proven otherwise! (3%, 8 Votes)

Would Karl Dorrell still have a job at CU if the Buffs go 7-19 over the next three years (matching Scott Frost's 15-29 record at Nebraska)?
  • Absolutely not. CU can't afford to wait for yet another coach to tread water for five years before being let go. Scott Frost won a national title for the Cornhuskers, so he has a long leash (41%, 61 Votes)
  • Maybe. It depends on how things unfold. If CU's thin lineup is beset by injuries this year, and turns into a mess, but the team improves in 2023 and 2024, I can see Dorrell keeping his job (39%, 59 Votes)
  • I doubt it ... but ... if four of those wins over the next three years are against Nebraska and Colorado State, he might just be able to stay in good enough graces to get a Year Six (20%, 30 Votes)

Proposal: Eliminate one free transfer rule in an effort to curb transfer for NIL money. Thoughts?
  • It's a half measure at best. The real current issue is high school students being given inducements to attend schools. Until the NCAA creates rules to stop boosters from buying recruits, it's chaos (44%, 80 Votes)
  • It would withstand a court challenge. The NCAA had a window create rules, but balked. The genie is out of the bottle, it isn't going back in. College football as we know it is gone (29%, 52 Votes)
  • I like it. If players have to sit out a year, they will think twice about leaving their current school (and boosters would think twice about throwing money at a player who won't be on the field) (27%, 50 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??? 🙂
