Other than the Rose Bowl (Utah v. Ohio State) and Alamo Bowl (Oregon v. Oklahoma), which Pac-12 bowl game for you holds the most interest?
- Las Vegas Bowl: Arizona State (8-4) v. Wisconsin (8-4). Badger fans will invade Vegas, and ASU has exactly one win all season over a team with a winning record (44%, 93 Votes)
- Holiday Bowl: UCLA (8-4) v. North Carolina State (9-3). Bruins get a distinct home field advantage, but the Wolfpack have wins over pretenders Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina (38%, 79 Votes)
- Los Angeles Bowl: Oregon State (7-5) v. Utah State (10-3). Beavers are improved, but get a tough draw against the MWC Champion Aggies (11%, 24 Votes)
- Sun Bowl: Washington State (7-5) v. Miami (7-5). Trivia question: Which team has to travel further to El Paso? (Answer: Miami - 1,900 miles v. 1,500 miles from Pullman) (7%, 14 Votes)

Buffs lose their second straight game to a ranked team, falling 69-54 at home to No. 13 Tennessee. Thoughts?
- A dozen turnovers in the first half turned a close game into a ten-point halftime deficit, and the Buffs are not mature enough to recover from such a deficit against a quality team (45%, 101 Votes)
- Lucky for the Buffs and their fans, CU has three easier games to figure things before Kansas comes to town (and I hope they do!) (32%, 71 Votes)
- This just in: CU is not going to be very good this year. The Buffs struggle with turnovers on offense, and opponents drive on Battey until he gets into foul trouble. It's going to be a long season (23%, 52 Votes)

Buffs taking on No. 13 Tennessee (Saturday, noon, FS1). Thoughts?
- I just hope that the CU students realize this is a noon start, and will be there for the Buffs. If CU is to pull off the upset, a fast start before a loud crowd is critical (41%, 62 Votes)
- This is a Buff team which struggled to beat Montana State, Duquesne, and Brown. This is a good young team, but this season will see the Buffs losing to better teams (35%, 54 Votes)
- I have a good feeling about this. The Buffs recovered on the road against a Final Four favorite in UCLA. A win at home over a good Volunteer team would make a statement (24%, 37 Votes)

Which news story of the day to you was the most "eyebrow raising"?
- That Texas announced a $10 million NIL deal for its "student-athletes". If the $95 - $110 million coaching contracts weren't already a sign of the apocalypse, this is certainly it (62%, 163 Votes)
- That CSU fired Steve Addazio after only two seasons. Addazio was only 4-12, and had alienated players and fans, but I was surprised that CSU pulled the plug so quickly (20%, 54 Votes)
- That the Buffs "only" lost to No. 5 UCLA, 73-61. The Buffs were down, 39-23, at halftime, but battled back to make it a game in the second half. Let's see how the Tennessee game goes ... (18%, 48 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from Eoghan Kerry, a three-star linebacker from Mater Dei high in California. Thoughts?
- A quality recruit? Check. Offers from multiple Power Five conference schools? Check. A recruit in a position of need? Check. Thumbs up! Welcome to the Black-and-Gold, Mr. Kerry! (59%, 207 Votes)
- I'm not sure what I like better - that Kerry plays for California high school power Mater Dei, or that Kerry was a Texas commit for the past three months, and flipped to CU. A good day for the Buffs (38%, 133 Votes)
- While everyone likes new names and profiles, the truth is that at this point, every new recruit means a current player on the roster has to go. I'm not sure that getting even younger is the way to go (3%, 9 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??? 🙂
