Are you concerned that North Dakota State will bring seven FCS Preseason All-Americans to Boulder on August 29th?
  • It's worthy of note, especially that the quarterback, Cam Miller, is a second-team All-American. A few good players can make a difference in a close game, and CU needs to be ready (47%, 112 Votes)
  • Yes. It just goes to show how talented North Dakota State is that the Bison have not only seven preseason All-Conference players, but seven preseason All-Americans. Look past NDSU at your own risk (41%, 98 Votes)
  • No. Being a preseason All-American at the FCS level is not the same as preseason All-American at the FBS level. If you are worried about NDSU, then you have no confidence in your Buffs (12%, 27 Votes)

Which stat from CU's first 15 seasons as a member of the Big 12 to you is the most impressive?
  • The four Big 12 North titles. It's been a long time, but it's important to remember that CU was a regular title contender and bowl participant in the early 00's (43%, 57 Votes)
  • That CU produced 28 All-Americans, including 14 first-team All-Americans. Sounds strange now, but there was a time when CU brought in serious talent to Boulder (29%, 39 Votes)
  • That CU had 46 NFL draft picks, including seven first-rounders. Looking forward to having a reason to tune in to the Draft next April ... and every April after that (28%, 38 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from three-star tight end Zayne DeSouza. Thoughts?
  • A three-star high school prospect adding depth to the Class of '25 (up to seven commits!)? Check. An in-state prospect? Check. A tight end? Check. Welcome, Mr. DeSouza! (57%, 72 Votes)
  • Nice to see CU get an in-state recruit to quiet some of the criticism, but with an offer sheet of CU and Washington State, not a prospect which is going to move the excitement needle (25%, 32 Votes)
  • So ... CU has a total of seven commitments from the Recruiting Class of 2025, and two of them are tight ends? Hard to believe, based up CU's lack of tight end talent/depth in the past decade (18%, 23 Votes)

CBS Preseason 1-134 rankings has CU in at No. 55 nationally (No. 11 in the Big 12). Thoughts?
  • CU wasn't a Top 25 team last September, but wasn't the 82nd team in the nation last November, either. It's August - let's get the season started and see how the Buffs fare on the field (50%, 84 Votes)
  • Ignore or delete the article. CU has a quarterback which will be vying for the Heisman, and went up 27 spots. Nebraska has a freshman quarterback with promise, and went up 37 spots (25%, 43 Votes)
  • Sound about right. CU is much improved from the team which went 1-8 in Pac-12 last fall (witness the 27-team rise from the rankings at the end of last season), but still has much to prove (25%, 42 Votes)

CBS: CU has the most difficult schedule in the Big 12. Thoughts?
  • A tough non-conference schedule, and games against all five of the top-rated teams in the Big12? Welcome to the party, CBS ... we already know CU has the most difficult schedule in the Big 12 (61%, 97 Votes)
  • The conclusion is partially based upon CBS assuming that the Buffs will struggle with NDSU, and that rivalry games are tougher than they should be. Not buying it - the schedule is easier than '23 (23%, 36 Votes)
  • Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but the fact that CU was given a schedule with the most difficult teams may be payback from all the attention CU has been given in the Coach Prime era (16%, 25 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??? 🙂
