Colorado shuts out Arizona, 34-0, to claim first Pac-12 win of the season. Thoughts?
- I don't care if it was the Little Sisters of the Poor. This program needed this type of win. I'll worry about Cal seven days from now. Tonight, I'm toasting my Buffs! (66%, 266 Votes)
- Okay, let's pump the brakes for a second. This is an Arizona team which has lost 18 straight games, and lost earlier this season to Northern Arizona. Beat a real team, Buffs, and we'll talk (25%, 102 Votes)
- Well, that's more like it! With defensive and special teams play like that, the Buffs will be in most of the games in the second half of the season. I'll take it! (9%, 36 Votes)

This is it! Your prediction for Colorado v. Arizona (Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks):
- Arizona, despite its 17-game losing streak, has been competitive of late (CU has not). Wildcat players have circled this game as one which can end the losing streak ... and I'm afraid they are right. (41%, 105 Votes)
- I think the coaches and players have been working on this game plan for two weeks, and will be able to handle the Wildcats. Buffs win with a strong rushing attack and good defense! (32%, 81 Votes)
- It's a touchdown line, but I'm not sure the Buffs will cover. This will be a low-scoring game (with two poor offenses). I can see the Buffs winning a low-scoring nail-biter. Fingers crossed! (27%, 69 Votes)

USA Today releases information on coaches' salaries. Thoughts on the Pac-12 breakdown?
- I'm surprised/disappointed/aghast that Karl Dorrell's buyout is $14.8 million. Here's guessing that even a 1-11 meltdown this year will not result in a new head coach at CU (60%, 116 Votes)
- I'm surprised that David Shaw is the third-highest paid coach in the nation. I know he's untouchable, but I'm not sure that Stanford is getting its $9 million of value these days (22%, 43 Votes)
- I'm surprised that Karl Dorrell is making more money than Washington's Jimmy Lake ... and I'm also thinking that Oregon State's Jonathan Smith is due for a raise (18%, 34 Votes)

CU men's basketball team picked to finish 6th in the Pac-12 for the 2021-22 season. Thoughts?
- So, CU returns every player except for McKinley Wright, and has the best recruiting Class in the Pac-12 (11th nationally). If UCLA or Oregon had that roster, no way they would be picked sixth (48%, 104 Votes)
- Sounds about right. Unlike football, a sixth-place team in basketball is still likely an NCAA tournament team. The Buffs might be a bubble team, but they should go dancing (30%, 66 Votes)
- Umm ... It's not even mid-October, and we're not even halfway through football season. I know the football team is struggling, but I'm not going to worry about Boyle & Co. until December (22%, 48 Votes)

Other than USC, which of the following Pac-12 teams is most likely to have a new coach in 2022?
- Arizona State ... If Herm Edwards is the head coach next season, I will lose all faith in the authority of the NCAA. Oh, wait a second ... (29%, 69 Votes)
- Washington State ... Whether it's a lack of vaccination, or a lack of wins, Nick Rolovich might not make it out of Year Two in Pullman (29%, 68 Votes)
- Washington ... The Jimmy Lake promotion isn't working as well as hoped. If the Huskies go south in the second half of the season, Washington could be looking for a new coach (25%, 58 Votes)
- Oregon ... Mario Cristobal has ties to the SEC and Miami, and with the LSU and Miami jobs possibly being open, the Ducks might be facing Willie Taggart Part Two (17%, 39 Votes)
- Utah ... Kyle Whittingham has to retire sometime, doesn't he? It's been a long run of success, but it's got to be coming to an end soon (0%, 2 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??? 🙂
