CU opens as a seven-point underdog to USC (Saturday, noon, MT, Pac-12 Networks). Thoughts?
  • Uh ... Colorado is averaging seven points a game, while USC is averaging 32 points per game. It doesn't take a math major to figure this bet out (67%, 232 Votes)
  • All I know is ... the line is more an indictment of the USC story than any confidence in the Buffs. Vegas is betting on the Trojans not showing up the rest of the season (28%, 97 Votes)
  • CU will be at home and motivated. USC was the No. 15 team in the country and a playoff contender a month ago, and now has nothing to play for. I like the Buffs' chances to at least cover (5%, 15 Votes)

Arizona State pulls away in the second half, handing CU a 35-13 defeat. Thoughts?
  • I'm just glad that this game was played so late that no one in the college football world was watching. The Buffs are an embarrassment to watch right now (40%, 132 Votes)
  • The game opened with two runs up the middle and a sack. Can we please now have a change at offensive coordinator? Any shakeup now would be a welcome change (37%, 121 Votes)
  • About as expected. The Buff offense showed some signs of life, but it wasn't nearly enough. Onto the next game, and perhaps the best chance ever to defeat USC (23%, 73 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at Arizona State (Sat., 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPNU)
  • U-G-L-Y ... A motivated ASU team v. a Colorado team which has far more questions than answers. Buff fans won't have to stay up late for this one. Sun Devils in a rout (53%, 157 Votes)
  • I may be wearing black-and-gold glasses here, but CU is 2-0 against Herm Edwards, and has won its last two road games in Arizona. Buffs surprise everyone (including themselves) and pull off the upset! (24%, 71 Votes)
  • I can see this one playing out the way it probably would have been forecast a month ago. The Buffs will hang tough, but it will be a close loss in the desert (23%, 70 Votes)

The Pac-12 is 16-16 in non-conference games, flirting with a losing record outside the conference for the first time ever. Which justification rings most true?
  • Quarterback Chaos: Pac-12 teams are going through quarterbacks like candy, while California prep QB's are starting for Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Clemson (66%, 133 Votes)
  • Group of Five opponents are not created equal: the Mountain West has produced 50% more NFL Draft selections than each of the Sun Belt, MAC and CUSA over the past five years (24%, 49 Votes)
  • Behind the curve because of COVID: The Pac-12 is losing to Mountain West teams and other Group of Five schools - They had full 2020 seasons; the Pac-12 did not (10%, 19 Votes)

Which of the Pac-12 double-digit underdogs (not wearing black-and-gold) do you think has the best chance at an upset this weekend?
  • Washington State (+14) at Utah ... How much enthusiasm is there in the Ute locker room after back-to-back losses and a savior quarterback who quits the team? (70%, 185 Votes)
  • Oregon State (+12) at USC ... The Trojan quarterback situation remains unsettled (backup wiz Dart injured; Slovis back with first team), and it would be easy for the Trojans to underestimate the Beavs (29%, 76 Votes)
  • Arizona (+27) at No. 3 Oregon ... Hey, the Ducks were only ahead of the Stony Brook Seawolves 17-7 at halftime last weekend, so anything can happen (1%, 4 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??? 🙂
