Which news story of the day to you was the most "eyebrow raising"?
- That Utah quarterback Charlie Brewer left the team. A four-year starter at Baylor, Brewer was supposed to be the answer to the Utes' QB problems. Three games in ... guess not (35%, 109 Votes)
- That CU picked up a commitment from a three-star linebacker from Arizona, Shakaun Bowser. Considering CU's last game, it's all the more special that this well-regarded prospect committed (33%, 103 Votes)
- That Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is willing to listen to overtures for the USC head coaching job. Bieniemy wasn't interested in coaching his alma mater ... hmmm (32%, 101 Votes)

Which quote from Karl Dorrell's Monday press conference stands out the most to you?
- None of the above. No coaching changes. Nothing other than saying he'll poke his head into the offensive staff meetings. No changes = No improvement. What the Hell? (71%, 256 Votes)
- "Sometimes it takes something like (the Minnesota game) to get the wake-up call you need. Their body of work up until this point has been pretty solid" (14%, 52 Votes)
- "I get where the fans are and I am disappointed. It is not a good look for us. I was able to wake up Sunday and get back to work" (10%, 37 Votes)
- On Brendon Lewis: "He is a very competitive kid ... He knows the expectations are always going to be high. But he doesn't lack any confidence" (5%, 16 Votes)

Colorado opens as a two-touchdown underdogs to Arizona State (Sat., 8:30 p.m., MT, ESPNU). Thoughts?
- This is a joke, right? The CU offense hasn't scored in seven quarters, and isn't showing any signs of life. I fear another rout is in the offing (62%, 237 Votes)
- Sounds about right. Arizona State was exposed by BYU, the first team the Sun Devils played of any substance, but the Buffs right now just aren't up to the challenge (20%, 78 Votes)
- I actually think the Buffs will respond. Not quite ready to predict an upset, but this team was embarrassed, and will hang tough with the Sun Devils (18%, 68 Votes)

Colorado embarrassed by Minnesota, 30-0. Thoughts?
- If Darrin Chiaverini is still the offensive coordinator Monday, there needs to be an investigation. A rout by a middling Big Ten team? At home? Unforgivable (54%, 253 Votes)
- I was worried about a down performance, but this was devastating. Dorrell better find a way to rally the troops, or its down to a two-game season (Arizona and Oregon State) (41%, 191 Votes)
- Well, CU is down to two first-team All-Pac-12 performers: Linebacker Nate Landman and punter Josh Watts (50.9 yards/punt on nine punts). After that? Crickets (5%, 21 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. Minnesota (Saturday, 11:00 a.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks)
- Everything about this screams close game. Rushing teams = fewer possessions and a low score. If the game was in Minneapolis this weekend, I might pick the Gophers, but I'll take CU in a close one (44%, 120 Votes)
- I have a good feeling about this. Minnesota's rushing game plays into CU's strengths on defense, and the Gophers have a porous passing defense. Buffs pull away to go 2-1! (42%, 115 Votes)
- I'll admit it, I'm worried. Close games can come down to kickers. Minnesota has a good one, while CU has an 0-2 freshman. Another (frustratingly) close loss (14%, 38 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??? 🙂
